Default HELP! Turn signals won't work

Rebuilding the front end of a 2008 FLHX. Bought new turn signals and installed them. When I turn the bike on all of the lights light up. The problem is when I turn the signals on, only the rear ones flash. Anyone ever had this happen?

are you installing dual filiment signals?

The reason I ask is, on my last bike I bought four turn signals at a swap meet. All four were single filiment, (or single pole). I would have signals but no running lights on front, If I fungled the wires I could get signals but no running lights.I had searched all over h3ll for matching dual filiment signals for the front, finnaly found them at the local leather and parts shop.

I tried using the dual filaments that are installed on the rear and they still won't work.

Sorry, I don't know then. Have you checked your wire connections and your switches? maybe test your relay. I'm not exactly sure how to check your relay, but I'm sure someone who does will chime in at some point. Sorry I couldn't help.

Your rear has running and signals??

I don't think it uses a flasher ... I believe the TSM controls the signals.
