As I said the resistor required is not being used in the way you're thinking - the 2010 LED lamps are 12V supply assemblies.

The issue is not powering the LEDs themselves, they will work fine as "plug and play" on pre-2010, but with 2010 rear lamps fitted the pre-2010 body controller doesn't see sufficient current being drawn by the rear lamps, so assumes a bulb has failed. It then flashes the indicator lamp on the instrument cluster at double speed as a warning.

A high wattage resistor is fitted in parallel to simulate a bulb and "fool" the body controller, returning the warning lamp to the correct speed.

See my link to the DISCO3 wiki for more info.

I stand corrected then lol

Having looked at the how to though i would advise against fitting resistors of any form onto carpeted areas as they tend to heat up a fair bit.

Thanks Martin i now see where you are coming from and i totally agree with the installation method. Parallel.
