Turn signal wiring

Hello fellow camaro/firebird peeps. So I thought it would be a cool idea to put switchback led bulbs in my front turn signals. The parking lights would illuminate white and the turn signal would illuminate amber. Come to find out after some wire probing both wires the brown and blue wires have voltage at them while the parking lights are on. The blue (which I believe is the turn signal) has a low voltage so the stock bulb doesn't light up but it's enough to mess with the led and put it into some kind of half on state. If you unplug the blue wire it will light up white. My question, is the blue wire supposed to have voltage on it when the turn signals are not being used? I would assume it should be off or zero voltage. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Turn signal wiring

Figured it out.. The flasher was leaking voltage. Replaced it with a digital one and the problem went away.
