do you have a couple pieces of wire that you can test the bulb directly to the battery? Also compare the LED bulb to the original to make sure the nipple at the end is the at the same length.

Or with everything turned off, try and bend the little tab at the bottom of the socket up a bit. Maybe it isn't making contact.

The nipple is the same length, and it is definitely making contact with the metal tab. I thought of actually doing the testing of the bulb to the battery. But as dumb as it sounds, i'm not quite sure where to put the positive and negative wire on the bulb exactly.

**CORRECTION** I just tested the bulbs with a battery, and the LEDS are fully functional. So i really don't know the problem... Should i tap the wires with the resistors even though I have the flasher relay for LEDS plugged in???

Well when I tested my LED flashers in my rear tail lights ( they're aftermarket by the way).. without the relay and with the stock ones, they do the rapid flashing. But I ordered already the load resistors for the front ones, So we'll see if they will work. I'm just confused why my rear aftermarket tail lights works for those LED flashers but not for the front with my stock headlights.
