I got some regular amber trailer lights for the truck and I put them in the grille because I took my bumper off because I'm building one for it and when I got everything hooked up I turned the emergency flashers on and they flash like normal but if I turn the flashers on with the switch they flash as if the bulbs are burt out but everything still works front and rear. What could be the problem? Thanks

mine did that after i replaced the front blinker assembly but then went back to normal after i took it apart and put it back together never did figure out why but it fixed it lol

its because the bulbs in the lights you bought don't draw enough power so the flasher thinks a bulb is out

Yep, different load on the flasher relay. Some options are to use a bulb with the same load as stock:

Or add a load resistor to the turn signals, or change to a soolid state flasher:

Or modify the flahser to ignore the bulb load:

Or leave it and be cool like the kids in their ricer Hondas!
