Right now, your front and rear are blinking at the same time. Use a relay to make them alternate. This will make them blink faster. Its simulating the same scenario as when of your blinker bulbs die, which allows more power to flow, and causes your signal to blink faster. I'm not 100% sure if this will work on our cars though. Just unplug your blinker bulb in the front, turn your signal on, and see if the rear blinker blinks faster. If it does, then use a relay to alternate the blinking, and you should get the effect you want.

LED bulbs without a relay seem to do the trick for me...

Go to your local Radio Shack and ask them. Its too much and too hard for me to try and explain... especially since the majority of my electronics knowledge is self taught.
