You have to get a special flasher just for LED's. I think its called a no-load flasher.

The flasher works by tripping (turning off) when too much load passes through it. Think of it like a breaker that automatically resets itself, repeatedly. The LEDs do not pull as much load as regular bulbs. If you replace the parking lights with the regular bulbs, the taillights would flash. or vice versa, replace the taillights and everything would flash.

When you are looking at the spec's on a flasher, find one that has the lowest load rating or no-load. I had to go through several electronic flashers before i figure out the no-load thing. I had to order mine on line.
