Those resistors would not be anywhere near big enough - they would be 1/2 watt at most and would burn up very quickly. You would not want to put a resistor in series, that would increase resistance and therefore decrease the load. Going the bigger bulb route is the way to go. If you can't get one big enough in the housing, install a second repeater on the side of your car or just have a second bulb in parallel hidden under the bonnet where it can't be seen. Another bulb in parallel with the existing bulb will add the extra load required.
