You would need resistors...

The led's draw a lot less power then the stock bulbs. That causes it to "hyper flash" because the system sees it as a bulb that's about to go out. The resistor gets spliced inline with the new switchback bulb and tricks the system into thinking that the led is a normal bulb and fixes the hyper flash. Cheap and easy install.

Take his^^^ advice as far as what resistor to use because you have similar model WKs.

Where did u guys find the 1.5 ohm resistors? I can't find one anywhere

I ordered mine from allied electronics. I'd send them if I had any left, just gave the last 2 away. I think I have some 3 ohm if you wanted to wire them down to 1.5 ohm.

How do you wire them down to 1.5 ohms

You probably won't have to do that because you have an 05.

To get 1.5 ohms out of two 3 ohm resistors, you connect them in parallel.

Parallel. And with it being a 12 volt circuit, that will be 8 amps

Two 3 ohm resistors in series will equal 6 ohms.
