LED question

I recently changed out my all four of my blinkers to LEDs. Anyway now they blink a little fast. It doesn't bother me that much, but I was wondering if there might be an easy way to get by this using a resisitor in the blinker itself or something. I know about the the load simulators for LEDs. Wiring one up to every bulb is what I'm trying to to avoid. If you tell me to search I will punch you.

its because it draws less current than your olds bulbs, thus the car thinking that a bulb is out and flashes fast to indicate one is out, even tho it isnt.

i think all the corners shares the same circuit, so if you just put a resistor in the circuit somewhere, then the blinking should slow down.
