LED light bulbs on a 2012 ZL1 Camaro

Has anyone ran into an issue when installing LED bulbs that causes the turn signals to cancel when the headlights are turned on?

That can be caused by a loose or bad connection.
did the car originally have LED's?? if not, did you add a resistor to gnd??

I added the LED's. The sockets are the standard type versus the CK type. These are supposed to be the correct setup.

Im sure that the 2012's did not come with LED's, if you bought a kit, it should have come with resistors, The stock bulbs draw a lot of current, LED's do not. your blinker is designed for the draw of reg bulbs, you must add a resistor to ground to add more current draw to make the blinker work.

I bought load resistors with the LED's.
