Thumbs up

I believe resistor's are the key to fixing that.

To quote ehow-

"Normally when you flip your turn signal switch, the light blinks at a set, slow pace. However, if you have modified your lights to use LEDs, you'll notice that the turn signals now blink very quickly. This is caused by the low resistance of the LEDs due to the fact that they use less energy. To correct the problem, you'll need to wire the turn signals in a parallel circuit. To do this, you'll be installing a resistor"

Tadaa! Hope that helps!
