Default LED Help

Alright I bought some LED bulbs on Ebay and I put them in my turn signal socket and they work when I turn on the blinkers but they dont stay on with my headlights like they used to. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I figured it would have one in it. It is just the single bulb that you plug in just like the regular ones. I thought that it might have something to do with the bubls having the 2 filaments and leds not have a filament at all to light up at the same time as the other one. Help please.....

Look closely at a dual filament bulb, it has 4 wires that come down to the base, 2 for each filament. The LED bulb only has 2 because there arent 2 "settings" persay for a dimmer and brighter light. As for how to get them to work correctly I will have to research this a little more and do some testing I will get back to you.

Thanks a lot for the help so far. Maybe I/Someone can figure out how to fix it. Does anyone know if they make "dual...um...application" LED bulbs.
