led turn signal lights
i had the holes in top of lens and lights blowing often.
i ordered the clear front lens for my 2001 corvette and led bulbs.
I received today and installed, problem. lights do not change to amber for turn signal, they dont light at all for turn signal.
also when turn signal is turned on, side marker light and fog light flash not led light.
when headlights on led is white but turn signals dont work at all if head lights are on.
when using old bulbs everything works right.
whats going on with the led's?

Did you try turning them around? I have not personally seen it but I've read that they act up when installed backwards.
The foglights flashing is an odd effect which would initially indicate bad grounds to me.

they are switchbacks, i have the switchback on order. i read they would flash fast and make them burn out faster until i install the bypass switch but i dont understand the other problems.
when they work correct with old bulbs in.

problem fixed
well the bulbs were in backwards, did not know this would be a problem as old bulb can go either way.
i put them back in had same problem, then took advice and turned then around work great.

Too many people do not understand that the "D" in "LED" stands for "diode" and that a diode is a solid-state device that allows current flow in ONE DIRECTION ONLY. Kinda like an electrical check-valve.
