Questions about LED turn signal

just bought LED's 1157 and load equalizers from autolumination. I installed them today, and the LED's came out nice. however, i noticed if there was something wrong with them. i remembered when i turn the headlights on, the signal lights should be dimmed, but mine was not. is there anything wrong with the LED's? Or that's the way they were?

Thanks

Yes, according to autolumination's web, i need to use 2 of 6 ohm load equalizer for front OR rear ONLY.

hmm, that's weird. I usually go with the higher end ones, they've always solved my problems.

Lemme ask you quick questions. where did you splice the wire? i spliced my to black wire, and green wire. i've tried all the possibilities:

Black and Red = blink normally but when the headlights on, it wont blink
Red and Green = blink too fast
Black and Green = blink normally with or with the headlights on.

I did black and green with 6ohm loaders, LED's also from autolumination.

Spliced the wire in the middle I believe and I may have spliced into another. i have the /D: light on, displayed in the dash, although there are no lights bulbs hooked up in the rear. That could be the problem.
