Audette Collection signal bulb kit Question

I recently purchased the Audette Collection AC high performance Signal bulb kit and took the car out yesterday which turned into an evening trip home. When I turn on the lights the interior directional light indicators both lit up on the gauge. And when I used the turn signal lever - no turn signal lights came on up front or in the rear. I turn turn off the lights and all the turn signals work. Do I need a new signal/high beam lever? What's going on here?

Check the fit of the bulbs in the sockets. Sounds like they aren't grounded properly.

Could be a ground, a bad bulb or a bad flasher.

I agree.

Electrically the running lights and turnsignals are independent. The only electrical connection they share is the ground connection in the 1157-type running/turnsignal bulb bases.

Check the fit of the bulbs and while lights are on and turnsignals not working, try removing one of the new bulbs and replace with the existing 1157-type incandescent bulbs.

BTW, are the new bulbs LED types?

No. The Honda bulbs supplied by Audette collection.
