Preventing hyperflash LED with resistor

I'm planning to change my rear signals to LED and I've heard that it'll hyperflash after a few minutes if it is continuously on, but if I use a load resister will it solve this issue? Like I can keep the signals on for hours and it wont hyperflash?

What model vehicle? Try searching if the flasher relay has a digital flasher relay counterpart first. You just need to match the OEM terminals to the digital one.

I put a Tapturn in my '13 RX. It allows LED turn signal bulbs, which I now use. It also give the car directional signals triple flash capability. Tapturn has a list of compatible cars.
