LED Turn Signals

I have a 3G TL-S. I bought some 1157 LED bulbs for the turn signal. They only blink but won't stay on as parking lights. Did I buy the wrong bulbs? I don't have the shunt resistor modification soldered in to the relay yet if that could be the problem.

When your turn your headlights on do the turn signal arrows light up?

Because my car has 7443 LED bulb that do not light up they just flash, with headlights on the arrows light up and you cannot use any blinkers. With one side 7443 LED and the other side 7443 halogen they both light up but cause the taillights, headlights, sidemarkers to all blink.

Some other people on this forum have this issue (thejoker), no one ever figured out what causes it.

With the stock halogens on the turn signals stay on when the headlights are on. Once i put led in they no longer stay on. They only work as signal blinkers.
