Default How do I run LED tailight bulbs 01 trans am

I secured a set of clear honeycomb tails , and bought a set led backup lights and brake lights. But with them in all lights on the left side blink if the turn signals on. If I turn in the right side both the left and right side blink. But the right side is not as bright, any help? What bulbs do I need or resistors?

You'll need "no load" electronic flashers for the turn signals to flash properly.

Assuming both housings are in the same good condition and the bulbs are both the same, then it may be a grounding issue.

Only one side should light for that side's turn signal function. If both are lighting, then there is most-likely a wiring problem.

So just to make sure it would replace the flasher that is under the dash? And would it have to be a specific led? Or just the flasher
