Default turn signal resistor connection?

I replaced my Turn signals with LEDs, but the blinking speed is too fast.
So i bought a couple of 6 ohm resistors that came with 3M electrical taps.

Today i cracked the wheel well liner back found the turn signals, and there are 3 wires going into the turn signals. I traced the wires back into the engine bay and attached the resistor across the first wire, the second, and then the last wire and nothing, both turn signals are still blinking too fast.

I then inspected the wires, and the taps werent breaking the wire insulation.

So to make a long story short I am going to try and cut and splice the resistors in now, instead of using the taps. However I dont want to cut and try all three wires, so I was hoping somebody might know which wire controls the blinking.

Thanks for the help. Below is a pick of my LEDs with clear corners.

nevermind im a dbag, that diagram made sense. i think i can connect it to either of the top 2 wires and it shouldnt make a difference.
ill try it out and update with some pics.

thanks for the link!
