Aftermarket LED lights with standard lighting package

Found these awesome lights on eBay:


In the spirit of DIY, I decided to install them myself.


Problem is, everything works only when the lights are on. When the lights are off (I don't have the option for auto in my car) is when we get issues. When the left turn signal is engaged, the left OEM upper signal lights up (as usual), but both sides of the reflector LEDs also light up with it. Same thing happens with the right turn signal. There is no hyper flash.

For now, I am simply driving with my lights on constantly, but I need a real solution soon.

I know that it is definitely a compatibility issue, since the new reflectors are LEDs and I don't have the LED lighting package (Except for the fog's). Is it as simple of a fix as adding resistors somewhere?

Turn reflectors into additional lighting ? Guessing that's not plug and play and you must have wired into the rear lights ?

I was curious in these too, do you have a picture of the wiring harness they use so we can get an idea of how it is supposed to get connected?
