Default Hyperflashing and no running lights

Hi guys, after installing new LED tail light assemblies, I've lost my tails running lights and now I'm hyperflashing (hazards flash normally though).

Anyone else ever run into these problems? Any solutions? Thanks!

You will need to install load resistors inline with the new LED tails... the LEDs do no provide enough electrical resistance that is why you get the fast flashing...
Most LED retailers along with Amazon and EBay sell load resistor packs for LED setups...

How big of a resistor should I use? 50W-100W? 20 Ohm?
