Turn signal arrow stays lit with LEDS
Last week I installed 2 7443 WHITE LEDS in my front turn signals. They both worked but the problem was the right bulb did not light up. it only flashed. Today I received my replacement 7443 bulbs. I put them in and no dice, they only flash when I signal but DO NOT light up. Thinking they were bad bulbs I put the original bad bulb in. Now I am having very annoying problem.
When I start the car with headlights on, the right turn signal arrow lights up on the dash and I can't use my blinkers. Nothing works, no hazards, no left or right turn signal. I switched that bulb with the 2 replacement 7443 WHITE LED I had and the arrow stays lit and it does not flash/turn with headlights on. They flash and the arrow does not light up as long as no other lights are on. As soon I turn on my parking lights the arrow lights up I can't blink.
I changed the bulb to a 7440 amber and that works. Now I am not sure what the problem is. I put the 7443 bulbs in my taillights and they work. Its possible the bulbs are burnt out and do not work but only blink....but why the right blinker arrow lighting up?
And honestly what is the chance 3 LED bulbs would be burnt out?

Don't non type s TL's use some sort of wedge base style bulbs? If that's the case did you try turning the bulb 180 degrees and trying again? I know when I installed my rear blinker LED's in my type s they needed to be installed only one way otherwise they did not work. So polarity matters in that case.
