Anyone else have these Smoked LED Tail Lights for an F3-S? Any ideas to stop the hyper-blinking?

Anyone else have these smoked LED tail lights from Slingmods? https://www.slingmods.com/canam-spyder-f3-smoked-led-tail-lights?vehicle=1 Says they work on 2026 F3-S, which they do, but I'm getting hyperblinking of the turn signals even with the included load resistors. Resistors are labeled 50W 1ohm. Any ideas on possible fix?

Where did you get the resistors, did they come as part of the kit? On RT's with LED's I install 6 ohm resistors when I have hyperflash. 1 ohm is close to a dead short in the circuit. The resistor goes from the turn signal hot lead to ground, paralleling this LED circuit. Maybe you installed the resistor in series with the bulb, or you would have most likely blown a fuse.

Correction, the resistors show 50W 9.1ohm. They came with the kit already pre-wired into the connectors. I suppose they could both be bad, but seems odd they would both go out at the same time. I see another person complained about this issue in a review on Slingmods, but got no response. I ended up ordering some new resistors, 50W 8ohms, that showed up right after I posted this. I just installed them and they seem to be working, no more hyperflash. Hopefully they hold up. Strange... Thanks for your suggestion!
