Check the wattage of the bulbs they need to be the same back and front
When you have the bulbs just make sure the filament is ok to

Sounds like LED ones, for sure.

And if you get the wires crossed they might not work, some are specific about which is the pos and which is the neg connector wires.

Try reversing the polarity, if they all flash at a fast rate then either fit an in-line resistor (Hein Gericke do a nice looking one) or get a flasher unit designed for LED's.

Otherwise your wiring's shot somewhere, stick a meter on them.
