Default Parking lights

Hello everyone. I just installed leds all the way around and now when I turn on the parking lights the side markers turn on but not the main front lights. The rear works fine. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or what I should do? Thanks

try putting one of the old bulbs back in and see if it goes back to normal. Sometimes you run into weird load issues with LED bulbs... things dont work right unless the circuit sees a certain amount of amps drawn.

I read about load resisters and I would have put some in but I ended up outing in a new blinker relay. I will try the old bulbs and see what happens

Ok so I put the old bulb in and blinkers and parking lights work. So since there is no problem with the electrical what can I do to have my parking lights back?

what did you use for leds? If cheap, no name from eBay/Amazon, try a better brand. For a good price, sylvania zevo have always worked well.
