Go to Autozone, Checker, Pep Boys, etc. They have "load resistors" for LED signals. They are little white bricks with the resistor inside them. Just hook it up to the signals and you should be good to go.

I wanted to maintain the "fast blink", because I think it attracts more attention, therefore, I only installed 2 resistors (one on each side). If you want to retain the stock flash speed, you will need to install 4 resistors.

These things do get quite hot, so mount them in a way that it's not close to plastic or anything that can melt easily. I mounted mine using 3M Automotive Adhesive Tape to the sub-frame under the rear tail. They just recommend that you mount them and have a 1-inch clearance around the resistor to keep it from melting anything.

The resistors (at Checker) were $10 bucks for 2 of them. You can find them cheaper and a little bit smaller online, but then you have to pay for shipping and wait a few days. (which I couldn't do)

Hope this helps man.
