Problems with Led Turn Signal need help

I have installed the Led Bulbs in my turn signals, and now the car thinks that the bulb is out, so it blinks at hyper speed. im guessing because led bulbs run at lower power which is why the computer thinks its out. is there away to bypass it so i can get it to blink at normal speed, because with a white led its almost not noticeable that i have my turn signal on

From super brightleds.com:
LED bulbs may cause some newer vehicles to indicate a bulb is burnt out (because of their low power consumption). Some cars indicate this by increasing the flash rate of the turn signals, some turn on a bad bulb indicator.This can be remedied with our Load Resistors wired across the turn signal bulbs to simulate a filament bulb load. We have these available by our LED turn signal bulbs in our online shopping cart

i had the same problem with my LED directional bulbs, go to that link and buy the equalizers, it fixes it right away, the only con is that im afraid to turn on my hazards for an exstanded period of time because the equalizer heats up pritty quick, good luck.
