LED indicator resistor

I purchased a resistor kit from Ebay which when I checked it was 10w & 8 ohm but these didn't work. It was listed as a universal kit for LED motorcycle indicators.

I measured the resistance of the standard indicator and it was 3 ohm so I then tried a 10w 3 ohm resistor. This flashed the indicator and at the correct speed but the resistor got too hot.

I'll get a higher wattage 3 ohm resistor.
 
The resistors are a bit of a bodge so I will get LED for front and then a relay as well.
