Default LED Tail Light Problems (1973 Corvette)

So I just replaced my tail lights with LEDs & now when I use my blinkers every light in the car flashes (headlights, side markers, dash lights, etc) Do I need to replace my flasher relay to fix this or what do I do?

Ensure none of the LED bulb contacts are bridging across the receiptcal contacts. I had bought cheap LEDs found that the contact points were way to large and would bridge, had all marker lights come on when brakes were applied.
