LED brake light problem

I installed a set of clear tailight covers. I changed all the bulbs to LED but I noticed with the led brake lights installed when I depress the brake pedal the park lights flash on and off with the brake lights. Has anyone had an issue like this or similar. Any input would be appreciated.

You've tried re installing the old lights and testing again? The reason I say this is to ensure that there was no form of mix up during the transition.

I have not worked with LED taillights myself but from what I have read of others posts, some of these lights in the old system need a resistance load in order for the system to work properly.

I have been thinking about doing a Fox resto with LED lights all around but I haven't done much research on the subject yet.

Keep us posted.
