Led indicator resistors S2R 800

Hello again great forum!
I am currently changing the original indicators on my S2R, for some cool LED ones.  ;D [evil]

But, and I am aware of the resistor problem, so I went out and bought of the great internet some resistors for this model, meaning 10W (please correct me if I am wrong).

The first four I got I mounted according to the scheme and what happened is that they blink correctly twice, before they change into the faster 'broken-bulb-rate'. So I contacted the provider that said the manufacturer had made wrong ones, said he was sorry and returned my money. So I went to another site, that sells the same stuff, found another set of four resistors for 10W and changed them. But I still have the same problem. Same shit happens.

I have searched everywhere for solutions, but can not seem to find a good answer.
Anyone with magic advise on what to do? Or what I have not done?

A riding buddy has LED turn signals on his and he said you need to get "2 50ohm-20W resistors and installing one parallel to each light."
I have no idea if this will work or not, just passing along info.
Good luck!

Thank you. At least it gives me a little to work on.
Getting a lot of resistors laying around now.

Don't wire in those cheesy resistors. Simply go to Autozone/Advance/Murrays etc and pick up a Norvita LED compatible EP-35 relay for $8-$10. Pull out the dusty Guillera, click in the Norvita, boom done. Or get super fun and fancy and grab one of these:

^^^  not on an S2R (relay in instrument cluster)

Ahh...bummer. Don't models that have the flasher function built into the cluster require a reprogramming of some sort? thought I'd read that somewhere...

You can open the cluster, find the correct pin and cut it = no more speed flashing.

...or get good/working resistors.

Get the correct resistors from any of our sponsors . . . They have either Rizoma or a high quality part on hand and the correct size

edit: just get this:
