apparently u hook this up and it prevents ure signal lights from hyper flashing cuz of the lower wattage and also tells u wen the led bulb is blown...... but price is a lil dear.... rather save up for the rpw exhaust system now....

It doesn't go in the light fitting itself. it's mounted out of it.

yes, connect to the wire, anywhere after the loom connector, the closer to the part regulated the better...
