Default Sidelight replacement with LED's

I have some LED's to replace my sidelight bulbs but when I put them in all they do is flash on and off, how can i get this to stop?

I have seen some cars with these LED bulbs working so i know it can be done somehow... help!

Try adding resistors to the led circuit so that the led circuit matches the resistance of the old bulb assembly.

Or buy canbus compatible bulbs to bypass the resistors as they have them on the bulbs, try these - 5 SMD LED CANBUS T10 Side Light Bulbs Pack of 2
