When installing LED bulbs for the turn/brake light signal system, you must use electronic flashers, and the front side marker lights need to be "non-polarity" sensitive. The front parking light switches the ground on the side marker light during the flashing process, so if it is polarity sensitive, it will not work. If you look at specs of the bulbs they will generally specify this, but if they don't, assume that they are polarity sensitive. I never would have guessed these bulbs even existed, knowing LEDs are typically polarity sensitive! Mine all work correctly now after learning and doing this.
