I don't know how many ohms the part I bought is. However, when I was testing a few things, I left one of the stock lights installed and wired some resistors I had laying around into the other LED signal. First thing I learned: Resistors don't work in series for this application. Second thing I learned: a 15 ohm resistor (wired in parallel) will get those lights blinking. I tried 1 ohm, 5 ohm, and 15 ohm.
15 ohms wired in parallel works.
I didn't just wire up the resistors I had because they were literally burning up as I tested them. The ones I was using were some lightweight junkers I had from class. This application requires something more robust. Also, the part I purchased off ebay came with some in-line splice connectors as well as a protective cover and mounting bracket for the resistors.
