LED turn signals installed, having problems help!!
So I finally got around to installing my 3057, or 3157 turn signal bulb, its led, looks cool and everything, but it doesn't light up on one side when I use my blinker. It still lights up as a daily running light and everything, but not when I press lock on my remote, or use the blinker....any suggestions? Oh and the other side works perfectly fine blinker and all
Do I just need to turn the bulb another direction ? or am I screwed?

yeah, it didn't work so I just took them out and put the boring stockers back in...hopefully the company gives me a refund or a replacement...thanks for the help howarmat, much appreciated. I wish somebody else could give me ideas about a different replacement bulb that wouldn't need load resistors

I think I may have an answer for you. There's 2 bulbs in each turn signal. One's a 3157 and I believe the the other one is a 906 bulb. The 3157 is the most forward bulb and the 906, which is the smaller of the 2, is the furthest when looking straight at the car. Check to make sure the smaller 906 bulbs haven't burned out. I just tinted my front turn signals and replaced all of em. I had to go back because Autozone only brought up the 3157 bulbs and not the smaller 906 bulbs as replacement bulbs. Didn't know, or realize, that the 2 lights inside the turn signals were in fact 2 different bulbs.

Make sure a wire didn't come out of your turn signal socket (the part where the bulb plugs into), I believe its the blue one that will keep it from blinking if damaged. That happened to me and they will come on but won't blink but in the back and its fast. Check that.
