I put LED front indicators in and the blinkers are going crazy and yes I put a resistor on all 4 lights but I am wondering why its still doing this

What resistor value, how is it wired?
If there wasn't any change in the flash rate, one of two things may have happened.
First, poor connections if you used those crimp splice taps. They are there physically but not connected to the circuit.

Second, resistors aren't enough to load the circuit and slow the flash rate.

Just get a 'zero load' flasher from a place like superbriteleds.com.
It's the correct way to run led signal bulbs.

Try Diode Dynamics, I think I saw one there for this problem. The flasher relay used to be a plug in module on the fuse box. Not sure if it is still there now.

I have led switchbacks turn signals...led tails...led in my mirrors and had the hyperflash...bought a LED flasher relay and solved the problem...I created a thread...hyperflash turn signals and someone gave a link to me and I bought it...problem solved...thats all u need...no resistors or anything to wire...they even put pics of where its located
