LED Resistors

for those of you with LED turn signals, what kind of resistors are you using with the bulbs to avoid fast blinking? i guess more specifically, what ohm are you using?

depends on how many leds are on each of the bulbs. i would take a multimeter and measure the current draw at 12 volts on one bulb in order to calculate the value for the additional resistor.

I tried it with resistors I got off of ebay. It worked the first time but when I tried it again it blew the fuse. Any thoughts/suggestions?
