Default Rear Light Question.. =P

Hey guys, just had a quick ? I just picked up a set of LED turn signals for the back of the car. The color it puts out is red, and im using my stock tails. Installed them and they look great. love that nice clean LED flash, instead of the dull - in- dull - out effect the regular bulbs had. anyhow theres one problem, when there in, they make my turn signals turn faster, i know some people do it on purpose for the faster flash.. but i really dont like that, not to mention it makes it seem like you have a burned out light bulb.

so anyway im guessing its the different wattage this new led bulb is putting out causing it to do this. All i can see is that both factory and the led bulbs are 12 volts but have no clue what the wattage is.. if anyone could help me out or know anything about it to get it to go at the right speed with these bulbs i would really appreciate it.

Guess ill throw my oem ones back on for now. thanks so much

btw, heres a pic of my car and the new bulbs:

carefull with those bulbs .. the "****" on the end, some of them come with 2 little silver dots and some come with 1 .. if your not carfull you can blow the fuse and it will make your car go nutz .. and really stay away from those "flashers" wich you can get at autozone by the way they do the same.

I wanted to make my third break light in my crx flash when i breaked and got one of those .. didnt work .. but i also had those led lights wich messed eveything up and blew the fuse ..every time i pressed the break my door light and seat belt lite/chime would go off ..

good luck
