LED Bulbs turn off with blinkers?

FD, I ordered LED tail light bulbs for stock housings, with stock turn signal bulbs (to avoid quick blinking). They look great, but have a weird issue. When I have my tail lights on, and lets say I turn on the right blinker, the right side tail lights turn off, and they do not turn back on until I hit my brake lights, then they stay on again, until I use my blinker again. Obviously, this is with both sides. I posted on FB, and someone said to google it, and that it is common, and just a resister needs to be removed, My google skills must be garbage, because I am not having any luck, advice? thanks.

What specific part numbers did you put in the tail lights. Need to know to better understand the potential problem.
Adding a resistor to the parking light circuit of the tail lights might be the trick.
Tail light resistor

Also, try this. Put one tail bulb back in and see if both (led and incandescent) light up with blinker on.
