Projectors hooked up but no blinker?!!!! plz help

i'm so f'in pissed. i got my projectors in the mail yesterday and i installed them when i got home at night. i wired them up like everyone says i used the brown and black wire that's connected to the blinker bulb. The only thing is that when I turn the lights on everything works except the blinkers. The halos/leds/headlights/sidemarker all go on but the blinkers aren't doing ****. Is there any way they could have blown b/c i didn't look at the filament yet or is there a wiring error i could have made. i dont see how it could be my wiring because the leds all glow. plz help this sucks

Wonder if you tapped the wrong ground and are backfeeding voltage through the blinkers... That would be my guess. Make sure you used the side marker ground and not the blinker ground.

Two check for shorts...

alright I know im tapped to the blinker ground so I'll go swich it to the side marker in a little. hopefully this will work! thanks man.

it's always the smallest and more stupid ****...i thought i pushed the new turnsignal bulbs in all the way because it seemed like they were in. I inspected all my wiring and ran the circuitry **** through my head and couldn't come up with a solution. Then I thought what was really teh only thing i changed about the harness. And I figured it out that the only thing I changed was the blinker bulb. I then pushed the bulbs down harder and click, they went in. What an ass lol. Well im f'in stoked their in and workign now i just have to adjust the beams tonite. THanks for ur help dude .

I had a problem where one of the low beams didn't work. I took the whole light housing out of the car to see that one of the idiots at the factory didn't plug one of the lights in.
