Default LEDs wired to turn signal?

Is it a good idea to wire 5 resistored LEDs in paraellel to the turn signal lights so they'll be on whenever the turn signals are on? Or will that over load the source?

Since LED's draw very little power, I wouldn't think it would be a problem....but I'd ask ScionDad or engifineer....they could tell ya...

wiring more lights (bulb or led) will change the resistance on the turnsignals. it will probably make your signals blink at a slower rate much like having a bulb thats blownout makes the signal blink faster. to check if this will be the case, remove a bulb and see if the blinker rate changes.
