Default LED Tail Lights...

So I just got these LED tail lights installed into my 95' Z28, and you might not be surprised to hear but now my blinker lights won't blink, they just get bright. My hazards work so my question is how's the best way going about this? If I would need resistors also how would I got about that? Would help if you ever worked with the lights shown in the picture, those are the one's.

first your link is no good second the leds should be plug and go you shouldnt need any resistors i have them in my car and the work just fine the fact that your hazards work and your blinkers dont baffles me i assume the blinkers worked fine with regular lights???

EDIT: ohhhhh i thought you meant just the bulbs were leds anyways the too should be plug and go

No I had to strip the wiring and attach the wires myself, and with professional help. He was the one saying I probably need a resistor.

ya ive hooked up plenty of aftermarket headlights and taillights to know that they should be plug and go (not saying the actual plugs will be the same) but you shouldnt need any thing else

are you sure you have the wiring correct

The other guy was pretty sure, and it looked right to me. What would a resistor do for it then?

From what i understand, the LED's are lower resistance that normal bulbs and they require a resistor or a special blinker relay to work properly. I've been told you can find the relay at the auto parts store, but i haven't looked for myself. just my .02

this is correct but it should all be built into the light except the relay but that should have come in the kit... where did you get the lights
