Both turn signal dash lights constantly on

I’ve just swapped my front parking lights for leds and swapped both flashers for led flashers. Now when I pull the light **** out one notch both turn signal lights on the dash are constantly on. They don’t turn off unless I move the indicator lever to one side or the other while the key is off, then that specific signal light on the dash will turn off. I have only replaced the two front parking lights with leds and have not replaced any of the other indicator lights with leds yet. Could that be the cause of this issue? Any help is appreciated.

thanks for the tip! I did install the led side markers and everything works correctly now.
