Yes. Higher resistance seems to cause faster flash rate. And adding the resistor in parallel to the LEDs lowers the resistance and decreases the flash rate. And dumps heat wherever the resistor is mounted.

Our man Josh has one side flashing faster than the other. So if they are LED bulbs, I suppose he can try to clean up the connections at the bulb/socket interefaces on the side that is fast-flashing.

Still would like to know if or how one can measure impedance/resistance of an LED circuit with a multimeter without measuring current and voltage and then calculating overall impedance/resistance. Anyone? Anyone?
