LED turn signal issues

Hello I went to install CREE leds on my car today. The reverse and brake(using a halo ring for tails)work great, but im a little stumped on the turn signals.

I did the rear ones first. I first got the quick flash like they were burnt out. I added a 8ohm 20w resistor(radio shack) to each and all was good.

I then went to the front passanger and swapped it out. I was back to the quick flash. I then added a resistor and still the quick flash. Is the second resistor not big enough, too big on both, or could there be another problem?

I haven't swapped my turn signals yet but I've been reading Aipex8's LED thread and he mentioned using 3 ohm 50W load resistors. One on the left and one on the right. You shouldn't need one on both front and rear.
Like I said though, I haven't done it myself.

3 OHM 50W 4 BULB LOAD EQUALIZER RESISTORS LED TURN SIGNAL BLINKER FIX | 1 PAIR

At one time I had led's in my rear blinkers and stock ones in the front. Resistors just on the back were not enough. Soon as I put resistors on front and back on both sides, the fast flash went away.
