yellow thingy is resistorNote: You Always Dont Get What You Pay For. 
what are you doing? You only need a capacitor if you are going from Constant to Momentary.
Here is an easier diagram of the same thing.
| Pulsed to Steady Output |
| If you have cornering lights and want them to come on only when your turn signal is on and you do not have a steady output, use the following for each side. This will give you a steady output while the turn signal is on. Increasing the size of the capacitor will give you a longer output if needed. |
The Capacitor and Resistor form what is called an RC Network or Resistor Capacitor Network. To put it in easy to understand terms it is a time delay. It holds the voltage for a set period of time causing the circuit to stay on durring the flash period. The capacitor is rather large and can be bought at Mouser Electronics, Digikey, or maybe even Radio Shack.
John DeRosa (Hotwaterwizard) Stockton California When in doubt, try it out !Why not put an extra wire on the flaser input instead?
Here is how it works. The capacitor charges up and the resistor bleads off the charge at a certain speed according to the values of each one. If either one is a different size it will drain at a different speed.
So the answer in both cases is NO
