Default Led switchback problem

Sooooo I changed my turn signal sockets because when I was going to install the switchbacks I saw they were corroded and burnt up so I changed both. Now….I installed the switchbacks and when the light switch is off they are orange so I’m like okay cool and then when I turn my turn signal on they shut off….when I flick the switch to turn all outside light on they turn white and I use the turn signal they start flashing orange which is how it’s supposed to work BUT the flash is inconsistent. It’ll flash 4 times stop 1 time then it could flash 10 times and stop there’s no rhythm to it. So I put my old stock bulbs in and they work flawlessly. So something is up and I’m lost

Okay, here are a couple of considerations. First check the polarity and make sure the LEDs are not backwards. next, Do you have a Hyperflash harness? If not, then get one installed (takes 5 minutes). Finally, if that does not work, try a different set of Switchbacks. Forum vendor Sharplight Innovations has everything you need.
Good Luck
