Exclamation '00 ES300 Blinker Problem

I just installed LED blinkers for my headlights on my 2000 ES300, but it is giving me problems. When my headlights are off, my blinkers blink just fine but my dash equipments (radio, A/C, clock) blinks along with it. When my headlights are on, my left blinkers are on along with the headlights and my right blinkers are working fine (with hyper-blinks). Also, when my headlights are on and I turn on the e-lights, they stay on.

What did I do wrong? Would a relay kit help?

Did you install the dummy loads? The blinker circuits often don't work properly with the leds because there isn't enough current draw.

This is true for any car really. Led's use much less current therefore, the car starts going crazy!
[friend has them on audi and the whole time since he has them there is an error message for burnt out lamps.]
