I did this so long ago that the $8 blinker may not have existed, or at least it was not easy to find.

You don't actually need the different blinker/relay.  I did this job years ago (LEDs not as bright, but not too bad) by rummaging in my junk box and finding 4 (2 for each side)
ceramic wire wound resisters to load the circuit in parallel.  They are indestructible and just sit under the carpet in the boot.  As pointed out, only needed for the directionals, others just 

Frank is correct. As I mentioned in the article, you can wire in resistors if you prefer. But I found it easier to swap out an $8 blinker relay than to splice in four resistors.
