oka so what is that piece? u know the one that looks like a plug ? where is it located and how do i take it out?
i already have 95% of my lights today just waiting for one more to arrive they look so good but since i had work today i havent had time to try them yet
EDIT
so i was messing with the wiring for the LEDs today and i found something interesting, first, they do not blink super fast, they are blinking normal, second is that if i connect the running light cable to one of the two cables of the LED connector and the turn signals cable to the the other cable in the LED connector, the led will work just like the regular turn signals, meaning it will work as both running lights and turn signal lights, like the normal ones
now my question is, what are the risks of leaving this setup like this?, if i jist leave the ground disconnected or of i just attach it to the body of the car?

What kind of LED are you using? Need voltage rating for it. Is it a 12Volt or a regular LED that only drops a few volts?

So the light doesn't have a ground? I didn't think it could work if there wasn't a ground to complete the circuit.

Actually a resistor is opposition to current flow.
Here is a previous post on LED and resistors.
