Default 08 Accord Driver Side Hyper blinking LED (Already Installed Resistors)

Hey guys I just installed some switchback LEDs for my turn signals and im not getting the results I want.

First of all the LEDs are switchbacks and the color is opposite of what I want. Its supposed to be white idle and amber when the hazard or turn signal is on. Im guessing its a polarity issue what do you suggest to do to fix that considering I cant just flip the bulb with the stock socket.

Second My Left Driver side is not showing any idle light, and is hyper blinking where my passenger side has an amber solid light and flashes white at a steady pace when the turn signal is on. It's not the resistor because I just installed 2 new ones. My guess is a blown fuse, and i say that because i have a feeling the positive and negative or ground wires touched each other while i was putting on the resistors. If that is the case does anyone know which fuse box and which fuse it is? I looked in the Manuel and I didn't get much help aside from finding the Fuse for Hazards, which is only one fuse and i don't want to risk messing up my passenger side.

Please help! I have inspection in almost a month!


IDLE amber when its supposed to be white, no light on the right

IDLE Close up

Left Blinker (reversed colors and normal speed)

And on the driver side the bulb hyperflashes white.

Sorry for the long post, and thank you!

I am not familiar with this kind of stuff at all.

What kit did you install? Is the bulb just plug and play, or was there modification done to the wiring? Do you have a volt meter?

A LED has a polarity, so turning a bulb 180 on the driver's side may get it to light up.

It comes with 50w resistors and 2 leds. All I did was attach the resistor to the neg and pos wires then plugged in the LEDs.

Turning the bulb 180 does not turn it on but turning it 180 on the passenger side gives it the right color when idle (white). Even so, I cannot lock it in the socket turning it 180 It goes in push down and twist.
