From what I understand the flasher thinks the bulb is out.

Try this, unplug the new LEDs, the dash flasher should flash the same as if you added the LEDs.

Ever have a bulb go out? Thats how you know one is out.

You need the load resistor on that website. It will simulate a load of regular filament bulb so the flasher returns to normal speed.

It is normal for the car to react that way, like said above you need to adjust the blinker with the resistor.
