Well the wiring was never really designed for leds which is why the resistors are needed. Thats the only thing i can think of that might fix your problems. When you figure it out. Let us know. Good luck bud.

Well I've been trying to solve this and saw in another thread putting a new ground for the brake lights might work. I've done both brake lights, and both front indicator grounds and still doesn't work correctly.

Does anyone know where the hazard relay is? I want to try pulling it to see if that might be part of the cause.

New ground on every turn signal and brake light except the 3rd brake light. Now just the turn signals light up some when brakes are hit, but the turn signal indicators are no longer glowing whenever the lights are on (that was fixed when I did the front side markers with the 194 bulbs). If I put in incandescent bulbs in the brake lights the turn signals don't light up at all.
