LED Question
I installed new clear corners today and used LED bulbs in the install. When I start the car now, the amber portion of the larger switchback bulbs go on immediately, when the car is still in park. They are on all the time, never go off. The main bulbs are the switchbacks, they do flash amber and white as they are supposed to when the directionals are used when the lights are on, and flash amber only when the lights are off. I used mini tower LED's for the smaller corner lights, they do not seem to come on at all. Did I do somethiing wrong??

they will be amber when the headlights are off.
they will be white when the parking/headlights are on.
they will flash amber with the parking/headlights on when you hit the turn signal.
edit...does your car work like this?

Mine stay amber whether or not the lights are on. I'll try changing the smaller corner lights, they may be in wrong. Right now, the smaller lights never come on, not even when the headlights are on.

I turned the 194 lights 180 degrees, now they work. The switchbacks are white when the parking lights are on, except for when the key is on, then they turn amber. That may be because of the full time drl's that my car has. When the headlights are on they turn white. All in all, the clear corners look great, a nice addition to the car. I will post photo's when I take the car out of storage. Thanks to JDMVette, Richard, Gideon's Test, and rpm462 for your quick responses!!
Thanks also to Pewter99 for the DIY instructions, it made the job easy. Took around 2 1/2 hours, but could do it again in less than 2 hours. The instructions were very helpful!!
