LED light problem

[FATBAK]

I installed a set of superbrite "flashback" lights in my front parking/TS. I have clear lenses so they come on white and flash amber. The right front works fine but the left side comes on white but after a few seconds, changes to amber. I've also installed LED Tail/Brake lights, they seem to work fine. I haven't installed a new flasher yet so they hyperflash. I'm new to the LED thing so any help is appreciated. Any suggestions?

They won't work without resistors in parallel to the bulbs. Resistors for flashbacks and the EP29 should have it all working.

Thanks for the reply. That's a great write up and answers a lot of questions for me. I'm curious why one side works fine. Shouldn't I need load resistors on all the park/ts lights?

I think you have the one side backwards. Try turning the bulbs 180 degrees in the socket.

Anyone in Canada (ideally Ontario) know the legalities of replacing the stock amber park/ts bulbs with white LEDs?

I think you can only turn the bulbs one way due to the slot the tabs fit in. I will check it though. Thanks

They can fit both ways. They're indexed but it's possible to do it backwards. I have before and ran into the same issue. They'd light up orange instead of white

Thanks so much. Definitely going to try it in the morning.

So I tried turning the bulbs the opposite direction, but they will only turn in the index groves.

So here is what I've found. The problem goes away if I take the side marker light bulb out. WTH?? Thoughts Anybody???
