Takeaway: not all LED bulbs are equal, even the same make, model and serial number.

If you don't understand this, I don't blame you!

I understand. After my initial believed success in post #78, I later re-tested and realized I didn't try the flashers with my parking lights and headlights turned off. When I tried my turn signals with the parking lights off, all 4 lights flashed. Same for the other turn signal. Choice was to always drive with my lights on (which I usually do) or go back to the 2357 bulbs. Flashers and brakes work fine with the parking lights and/or headlights on. I re-installed the 2357 bulbs. I think my problems are from the flasher unit. But ERA uses a pretty specific flasher unit and I don't know what would be appropriate to try as a substitute. I think the extra load with the lights on allows the flasher to function correctly somehow even though they are separate circuits. Basically, I'm back to surrender - 'no mas'.
