Stupid stupid stupid LED problem
So in light of being completely broke, I was able to scrounge up the money for some 194 LEDs for the sidemarkers on the bird. I have a weird problem! No flashing side markers with the headlights/parking lights off. Everything else still flashes, and the LEDs flash once the parking/headlights are on but not when off. Makes no sense other then I need to upgrade to an electronic flasher. I didnt think that side markers would cause a non flashy kind of issue.

Re: Stupid stupid stupid LED problem
Sorry, I was just referring to my 91 FB. Yes, I once replaced all the bulbs in the analog dash with LEDs, keeping all the exterior incandescent bulbs and the turn signals wouldn't flash anymore. Had to switch back to bulbs in the dash for the turn signals.
One solution to your problem could be to use LED bulbs that can be put in in both directions. Some from superbrightleds dot com have that feature. Don't know if they are strong enough for turn signals though...
