LED signal lights is blinking fast for G37

Hello all
I bought front, rear and side signal LED bulbs for my G37 sedan 2009. When I installed the front and rear LED lights I think 7440 it was blinking very fast, after that I returned the old one and worked fine.
How can I use the new LED bulbs as normal blinking like the original
The buyer told me to install a 6 Ohm, 50 Watt load resistor for each signal light so it will cost me more and it’s not easy to install and find a place to hold this resistor
My side signal light is on the fender between the front tire and front door, the problem that I can’t open the signal light unit to replace the bulb with LED that I bought from superbrightleds.


Any ideas or suggestions

yeah, too much voltage going through that lightbulb. i wonder why superbightled didn't give you one that accepts the right voltage...

This is what LEDs do when placed in locations designed for regular turn signal bulbs. They're working like they're supposed to. The LEDs make the car think the bulb is blown and they hyperblink to indicate that. Install the load resistors or put in the bulbs that are designed for the socket. Those are your choices. Either that or learn to live with the hyperblinking.

before i order my LED's i read

Your vehicle may require an LED compatible Flasher or Load Resistor


if i know that my car need it, i will not order LED signals because i wanted plug and play without any modification

^^ya, it's really not that hard. I wouldn't call resistors "modification". They are pretty much plug and play.

If you have Led's for the front AND back turn Signals get this
3 OHM 50W 4 BULB LOAD EQUALIZER RESISTORS LED TURN SIGNAL BLINKER FIX | 1 PAIR

If you have leds for the front leds ONLY get this
6 OHM 50W 2 BULB LOAD EQUALIZER RESISTORS LED TURN SIGNAL BLINKER FIX | 1 PAIR

that's normal. just put some load resistors on and call it a day. takes 5 minutes or less.
