Finally bought some LED parking lights, Halogen clear headlights (love the nice cut-off line at the top! So much better than stock housings!), and LED tail lights (so much brighter!). Super excited once they were in, and are a lot better over the ol' incandescent's. But I seem to be having a problem with LEDs in the side markers and when I turn on my lights, on the instrument cluster, both the green turn signal bulb indicators are lit, but dim, once I flick on my turn signals, they bright up. I don't get why that is happening.
With the side marker LEDs, I installed some Sylvania 194 Amber LEDs that I bought awhile ago. Problem is, when I turn on all of the lights and flick the turn signal switch, they work, but when I turn off the lights, then flick on the turn signals, nothing happens in that marker. I go to flip the bulb, they finally work, but then once again I turn on my headlights, nothing happens. I don't get it. Is this my tail light's and parking light's fault? Do I need to have those box resistors installed even though I have the EP29 flasher? This is all new to me, I am not understanding what is happening here, I really don't want to have to send these LED parking lights back and get the clear turn signal housings with incandescent bulbs in them. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!
Thanks.
