Default led lighting problems

hey everyone , new hear and hope to get in touch with fellow blaser enthusiasts.

Anyway a friend of mine who also owns a blaser , his an 84 just had an hid kit installed and everything worked as it should then we installed 2 led front corner led bulbs and his signalsno longer worked, so we figured he's going to change them all anyway so now all his lights are led and the signals work however when the hid is turned on the signals fail again.
now is changing the sig. flasher ( 3 pin) to an led flasher with one of those external ground connections the answer or is it a little more involved.
We tried changing the one at the fuse panel , nothing worked put the oem back and got 4 way flasher back pulled the sig. flasher out from in behind the dash above the brake release to change but noticed that everything still worked even with that flasher out ????? still with hid on zilch nothing works hid off everything works, are we dealing with a mystery or is this a serviceable problem.

thanks for any help!

Have you tried it with just the parking lights on? It should act the same as with the HID's on. The HID's probably aren't the issue. It has to do with the GM wiring.

I would put money that it has to do with the side marker lights being LED's. Remove those bulbs and see if it fixes the problem.

The way the corner lights are wired, they pass the current one direction when the HIDs are on and reverse it when the lights are off. This will mess with your turn signals. Getting around it is a PITA.
