Today I replaced the front side marker/signal lights with Amber LEDs. The LED lights work as hazard lights and signals ONLY WHEN the headlights are turned off. When I turn the parking lights and/or headlights on the LEDs go dark and do not work. They are two wire LEDs and the stock markers were also two wire lights.

I already have the correct flasher element, changed this when I replaced the stock tail lights with ORO LED tail lights....

I don't know what I did wrong. Anyone have an idea of what I need to fix to make these new LEDs work as markers and signals?

Please help!!!

Tango Yankee.

Before you put the resisters on the front, what did they do or not do?

Not really sure about tj's but on a jk, if you mix up the wires, pos and neg, they act funny and won't light up.
