    Hey Everyone

    So i decided to wire up some yellow strobes in addition to my trailer turn signals. A little about my setup
    2007 Peterbuilt Car Hauler Boydstun 9100ST 9 Car, I am having some feedback issues from what I can tell, I wired the strobes directly to the hot circut that turns the flashers on, so in essence when i turn on the blinkers or hazzards both the regular turn signal goes on and the strobe flashes, and everything works great, but as soon as i turn on the clearance lights the turn signals work but strobes stop working all together, also when the clearance lights are off you can see just a faint glimmer of strobe pattern in all the turn signal and stop lights.... any ideas what gives... ?

    Usually bad grounds cause this and power through other light circuits with back feed through the filaments to find a good ground on other lights causing the faint glow.
