Electrical Problem With Tails!!

Ok, I installed new tail lights for the max, and put in a nice little multi-led red bulb for the blinker, and totally lost my hazard blink, plus quickened my blinker frequency. I tried to change back to the original white bulb, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

You have the wrong bulb in a socket someplace.

1156 where an 1157 should be or vis-vers

you also need to be carefull with those LED bulbs, they have a higher resistance then regular bulbs and can cause a lot of problems, I used to see it on my accord when i had the clear taillights in.
