The running lights and brake lights work fine and the flashers work fine if the running lights are off. But if I turn the running lights on, the left turn signal gets sluggish and the right won't flash at all. If replace the front signal lights with 1157 incandescent bulbs and leave the digital flasher installed everything works fine. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

I have several OEM type flashers around. How do you identify a "heavy-duty" flasher? Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

If I then turn the running lights on, they won't flash. If I start the engine and have the running lights on the left side will flash and it will flash a little faster if I rev the motor. That makes no sense to me as I didn't think LEDs were that voltage sensitive. Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.
