Ross, the factory turn signal bulbs are 5 watt bulbs. So, they would be pulling just shy of 0.5 amps each. So, if you bought say a 30 ohm resistor (rated at 5 watts) then you would be good. that would add the necessary resistance to restore the flash rate to where it should be (80-100 flashes per minute).
