Lightbulb Help! Turn signals are blinking way too fast!

Installed LED's in my taillights, looks good but now it blinks way too fast...looks ridiculous. Whats wrong? I know they usually do this when a bulb goes out or something, doesn't it?
Its fully operational. The weird part is when I turn the hazards on it blinks normal! help!

You need a load resistor circuit.

The Piaa chrome 7440 should work eliminating most of the amber while still blinking correctly.

I don't know G lighting isn't there an amber reflector in the housing?

The 03-05 models have an amber lens with clear bulbs. 06-07 models have a clear lens with amber bulbs.
