another vendor, writes this:
"A “rapid-flash” is caused by the factory turn signal module not seeing the specific amperage draw that the factory installed 1156/1157 bulbs provided. Whether you have a Plug-n-Play module or the hard-wired version, Load Equalizer Modules all work the same. Now you understand the features of our Load Equalizer Module, let’s talk about how it works."

This gave me the following idea:
instead of wanting to put an "electronic load" , why not find a way to "trick" the module so it "thinks" that it is draw 2 Amps.
An additional lead is that the module is also connected to the +12v of the battery (as shown in the attached pic) , so maybe it draws the needed current from the battery ....

Who is this other vendor, and what do they say at the end of the quoted passage? How do they claim it works?

I don't think you can trick the module into thinking it's driving more load than it is. It's got a current sensor on the output. Unless it's a seriously flawed design, it's going to sense how much current it's sending out each output (one sensor each for left and right outputs.)

Drawing more current from the battery won't help anything. It's the current that runs through each turn signal output that is being measured, not overall current draw from the battery.
