1984 Berlinetta turn signal/lights

i have a 1984 berlinetta the headlights didn't work so i swapped the wires from the high beams to the headlights and vise versa for the high beams and ran a jumper wire from the headlights to the high beams and they all started working but doing so it made the blinkers stop working they all light up but dont flash i can hear the relays clicking tried swapping them out for relays that i know work and got nothing not sure if the blinkers are tied into the headlight wiring some how and when i switched them around it messed up the blinkers i cant find much online about the wiring for Berlinetta's and im not good with electrical at all so any help would be appreciated

Reverse everything you did for the headlights.

Then replace the headlights themselves. (very simple, can be purchased from rockauto or amazon)

Then replace the turn signal bulbs (which are most likely blown now).

Even if you can see the filament seemingly "whole" inside the bulb it can still be blown.

Do all that and you should have working lights. If I had to bet the low beam filament on your headlights was out to begin with and doing what you did simply made the low beams function in high beam mode perpetually.

there brand new headlights/high beams there led's not sure if that's also causing issues but ill switch everything back see if that fixes anything i also found a blue flasher relay under the dash not sure if that's part of the blinkers because there's relays inside the light module but the part num is 3218415
