PROBLEM: Rear LEDs blink too fast! HELP!

Hey guys, I need your help! I have a 2001 Civic EX.

I installed LEDs (as my rear blinkers) last night and something strange happens...

I bought two LEDs and two resistors. I want to put these LEDs on my rear blinkers, so they said I need the resistors to fix the "fast blinking."

I connected everything correctly, a resistor to each light. When I signal right and push the hazards, the signals work fine, but when I signal left, it blinks really fast.

So:

Right - Blinking Fine
Left - Really Fast blinking
Hazards - Both blink fine (together)

What do you guys think it is? Bad resistor in the left light?

Please reply/e-mail me asap! It's driving me NUTS!

Thanks for all the help!

I took it all apart and "re-installed" the whole thing.

Problem solved.

THANKS PENNY!
