Prius LED Turn Signal Switchbacks

Per the suggestions of Ijdmtoy.com I connected a 50w 60 ohm resistor to each and every wire combination I could come up with on top of having the relay flasher in. They still flashed white for a second then orange longer. Decided to continue with the install. I soldered my new plugs into the old sockets so I can still unplug them technically but would need to buy a replacement socket and snip 1 wire if I wanted to go back to stock. Soldered then covered in silicon. I tried led in the side marker light and it look weird,so sadly stock is best in the side marker unless you cleared your headlights of the orange reflector. In one of my test I connected the ground of the side marker to the positive of the blinker so it would short when the blinker comes on, causing it to flash also but I blew a fuse so will have to come back to that one. For now everything works just have the white flash issue. May try a different kind of LED bulb or brand. Worse case I'll use it as a rear turn signal/ switchback to reverse light. Attached are my night pictures because the whole time reading about I thought "MORE PICTURES would be helpful " and my YouTube video of how the flash currently.

Here is what they do when just a blinker.
