Bad flasher maybe? As easy as those things are to install it'd be hard to mess up.

What LED's did you replace?

I would also be guessing faulty flasher module.

the vendors i bought from said that only switch backs work with another set of leds
so i put switch backs in the front and amber leds in the back and that fixed the problem
having amber leds in front and back is what causes the problem

It might just be a bad flasher module or perhaps it's not creating enough resistance for the bulbs to operate correctly.

Our flasher module works with LED's up front and normal bulbs in the rear etc...so I'd PM the vendor and see if they will send you a new flasher

Hopefully that helps a bit

The flasher that comes with the Buddy Club tails should be a LED capable relay (the one that came with my BC tails is) that technically should work fine.

I have the TapTurn flasher in atm that I installed before I got my Diode Dynamics switchbacks, but it won't be difficult to switch the BC flasher back in for a bit to test. Won't be able to do that until about noon tomorrow though.

So is it impossible to have LED's front and rear with only a flasher module? I have 2 I can try. The Buddy Club one and also the CF18 from Diode Dynamics.

All you need is a flasher module designed for use with LED's, or inline resistors. One or the other, not both. (Although I'm not sure if it'll work with both). I have LED turn signals front and rear with an LED flasher module and all is well
