Default Led tailight problem

I just purchase LED Tailights for my 78. I purchased them thru Corvette Central along with a spare led flasher identical to the one that came with the lights from United Pacific P/ N 90650.
The flasher has 2 prongs configured identical to a standard flasher as well as a ground wire coming from the rear of the flasher case. I plugged it in grounded the black wire and the turn lights stay on solid. However the hazard lights flash. I tried both flashers and have remote wired them
in various configurations with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions.

do the hazards still flash when your headlight switch is on, if not reverse the wires

I tried reversing the wires. I then took the LED flasher out
and replaced it with the stock flasher. The hazard lights still flash at a normal rate, and they continue to flash when the headlights are turned on.

Did you use the adapter that came with them? This should address the issue you are having.
