Default LED help

I'm sorry if this is on here already but I've been searching for a while and haven't found my answer.

I installed LEDs on my driver side today because I'm still waiting on the bulbs for the passenger side. Wired up all the resistors and everything seems good. When I have the power on but not the engine they work fine. But as soon as I start the engine, they move to hyper flash. The hazards work fine but engine on blinkers = hyper flash.

You have two six ohm load resistors on the front and back correct? (4 resistors total). They need to be paralleled to the signal and ground. Any pictures of your install?

Everything looks to be in order, I'd check the wire taps and make sure you have pierced the plastic on the wire and are making connection. Use a pliers to clamp those metal stabs onto the wires. Then check with your test light or meter to see if you have connection.

Yeah I will, I think my other bulbs are coming in on Monday, I'll have everything swapped and mess with it then.
