Yes, or no blinking. Resistors aren't the answer, because you're mimicking the current draw of a standard incandescent bulb, so there is no power savings. Many of us have installed LED lights to conserve power and be kind to the little charging system.
The answer is an LED-specific flasher. They're cheap and easy to find. I think Spud buys his from
