LED rear blinkers question

I bought a set of Amber LEDs for the my rear blinkers. Am I going to have an issue with it blinking really fast if I put them in? Ive heard that somewhere but cant find the thread.

ETA: Its a 2011

They are going to hyper flash with out the resistors. In your situation you need a pair of 6ohm resistors. If you ever change out the front turn signals with LEDs then you will need to use a pair of 3ohm resistors instead. You can also put the resistors in the trunk since that is where you will be working.

Ok so it looks like im getting the 6ohm.. on the sight it says that it comes with no instructions.. can anyone point me to where i can find out how to do it? I can get to the bulbs no prob. Only issue is the kit it self. Hopefully instructions written for a 6 year old, i hate doing electrical and i don't want to pay for it if its supposedly so easy.

thanks.

Yes I have no poblem removing the tail lights themselves, I just have no idea how or where to instal the resistors. Im not that great with electrical, but Im smart enough to figure it out given some short and sweet instructions.

LOL i don't know how to install but I do know that resistors can't touch things that catch on fire.... U heard resistors get hot...

I also remember someone saying you can barley see them during the day. Is this true? I would like to avoid getting pulled over or an accident.
