Re: led bulbs a different issue
Can you post pics of the bases of the LED bulbs in question? The bases of the LED bulbs should be equivalent to and look like these:
1. 1157 or 2057 for the stop/tails.
2. 1157NA or 2057NA for the front park/turn.
3. 1156 or 2056 for the back-up (I think the turn signals use the same these as well).
4. 194 for the side markers.

Re: led bulbs a different issue
the bases are the same as the original except for the fact that the new ones bottom out before you can get it in far enough to twist and lock

Re: led bulbs a different issue
Also note, that the pins on dual filament bulbs are not directly across from each other; they're staggered up/down (unlike single filament bulbs). Perhaps you have a mis-match with the pins on the LED bulbs and the sockets?
