Default LED turn signals

I installed LED turn signals. (REAR, FRONT, SIDE INDICATOR) and with only 2 lights in, they flash fast. With 3 in, they just stay on and make a buzzing noise.

How can I make it so that the signals flash the right speed? Do you have to wire in a resistor?

I like the sound of changing the flasher. Can this be done?

If our cars have an exact match for the limited available "electronic LED flashers" then we can change to that(which is actually a cheaper way to do it) but if our cars don't, then you're gonna need to wire a load resistor for each bulb you're replacing with LED that don't flash right.

Hey, I just found this at superbrightleds.com, http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...CF13GL-02.html, it kinda looks like my '95 SC400's flasher relay, I will try it, if it works I will let you know. I'm just not sure if we have the same kind of flasher relay. Here's some pics of my stock flasher so you can compare;
