They will blink faster if they do not create the same load as the original lights, one option is to replace the signal relay with a solid state timer instead. Load resistors never make sense to me since the whole point of LEDs is to save energy. One other thing, I've tried a few different LEDs out and they were no where near as bright as the incandescent blinkers. That eBay description doesn't mention how many lumens they put out, but you will want to test them out on a sunny day against the stock blinkers before installing them.
