I recently converted my exterior lights( except heads and fogs) to LED. I used the Novita LM487 flasher module to take care of the hyperflash. My problem is with the corner markers in the from( #194). The first set I installed worked fine until the parking and or headlights were on then I had no blinkers and the blinker indicators on the dash were half illuminated. I removed them and all worked fine. I ordered different bulbs. And they work with the parking and headlights, but the dash blinker indicators are still illuminated. Any ideas on what is causing this?

That’s odd, I run the same flasher with LED’s with no issues

front and side markers are often wired in series. This works with incandescent bulb, but not LEDs. Look at a schematic for those suspect bulbs. If in series, you will need to re-wire to parallel.

I wonder if the canbus is screwing it up? The first one doesn't say it, but it does say non polarity design which I think usually means it's canbus. I haven't done my markers yet.
