LED front turn signal help

I read thru lots of search results and my head just spins...I replaced my front turn signal bulbs and front side markers with led from superbright. They come on and look great but the fronts won't flash. I was told I need an LED flasher.Bought one, and still no flash. Anybody been down this road or have any ideas ?

I got a different flasher. It has to be a no load. The local parts store led expert give me the wrong one. It's my understanding a regular flasher doesn't reconize the led because they draw so little. They have a cool flash rate to them and i put orange led's under the clear markers. If you need a link to the flasher I used , I can get it for you.

I put LED bulbs in my park lights and side markers and had no issues. They flash just fine. I'm just lucky i guess.
