Default speeding turn signals

OK here is the deal, I replaced all of my lights with led and now my turn signals are going a hundred miles an hour and every time you put them on an alarm goes of, I can deal with the fast signal but I can;t with the signal alarm going off what do I need to do to fix this problem.

its cause LED doesnt take as much power... should be able to contact who ever you bought the lights from to get the approriate Resisters or new relays

you need to wire load resistors in parallel with your new leds ,
you need resistors on the brake and turn signals wires.

Yep, all is correct, but to get the right resistors you need to know more specs about the bulbs you are using. There are lots of online calculators that can help you determine what exact resistor value you need.
