Actually the resistance on LED is too high, hence putting a smaller but high wattage resistor in parallel to get to a smaller value. As suggest it goes between ground and the blinker wire on each blinker LED. If you are unsure about the value, just measure the original bulb and get a similar resistor, but make sure the wattage is high enough. A 4 Ohm resistor at 12V will need an resistor of about 40W, but since it is only 50% on, I would think a 30W might be enough.
