Never went the resistors route but they do need to be in the proper place.. I believe they should be installed before the load or lights in the circuit.. Not 100% sure but there are threads around here somewhere explaining it...

Resistors should be doing the same function as an equalizer, they should be wired in parallel with the TS LED. There is probably a thread somewhere with a diagram, you're not the first to do this mod.

6 ohms would get you into the same ball park as a turn signal (25 watts or so). 61 Ohms only gets you about 2.5 watts, maybe not enough to fool the system.
