Default 95 - are rear side marker bulbs (194s) supposed to flash?

Hey all - ordered exterior LEDs all around from superbrightleds using their vehicle-specific bulb finder only to get several incorrect parts, so I don't trust that resource. Went to swap out rear bulbs and discovered that there are long-blown-out 194s in there as side markers, similar to the front - are they supposed to come on dimly with the parking lights but also flash brighter with the turn signals? Since I'm halfway through the LED swap, everything is going to act haywire until it's fully converted so I'd love to hear it from someone that's got everything together.

Thanks very much!

Also I think they did away with the rear side marker bulb 97+ - it's just the big three. So if anybody 96 and down can comment it would be great! Thanks a lot.

194 bulbs are single filament. They only light up, no "flash". You're front park/turn, stop/tail (2057 bulb) are dual elements so the light up (first element) and then get brighter when you brake or use the turn signal (2nd element).
