a couple of thoughts.
it is possible the polarity of the 12v and ground on the plug is reversed. remember, with a halogen bulb the polarity doesnt matter. on led's it does.
first of all make sure your bulbs are good.
then check the polarity of the high beams with a volt meter and make sure the polarity of the low beams are the same.
on my hot rod, the flashers didnt like the led turn signals i put in. so i put a 12v relay on the circuit, not to switch anything but to give some load that then would allow the turn signals to flash. added benefit is it now makes a ticking sound like a real turn signal...ha
point to all of this is led lights are finicky.
there are a few threads on the forum about optimizing headlights. has alot to do with more voltage (minimizing voltage drop) to the headlights. various ways to help including bigger wires, dedicated wires, additional relays etc.
