Did you wire them in as a series or parallel circuit?

I’d have to break out my old school text books for a refresher on OHMs law and basic electrical theory but it is possible the LED’s are drawing just enough to prevent the halogens from lighting. Electricity would still be flowing through the element in the bulb, but there may not be enough current to light it up.

This is just off the top of my head.

When I wired up mine (I’m the original poster), I ran them off a switched power source that was controlled by the ignition. The LED circuit was separate from everything else.

Not likely.
If it had been a canbus vehicle that may have been a possibility.

I wired several things off my marker circuits but used relays to power them.

Notwithstanding a wiring error, you'd need a multimeter to check voltage and continuity to diagnose properly vs just guessing.

Yes, we are just guessing. Get out a multimeter and start checking voltages and show us exactly how you wired it up

Pretty rudimentary wiring going on, the previous owner had accessory running lights wired into the side marker bulb clip. So All I did was undo their shitty work and do the same thing and by same thing all I did was run a positive and a negative off the two wires going to the bulb clip, just with better wiring techniques. When I was done wiring turned them on, checked to see if I had voltage and light and I did so I thought all was Bueno. Fast forward got new lights amber LED's off eBay. Wired them up to the positive and negative and sure enough turned on headlights and they came on working just as the side markers are supposed too. But now the side marker bulbs don't light up. So too put it simple after running new wires off the side markers and running new lights,the new lights work but original side markers don't why? I'll get around to posting photos of the rig but the wiring is nothing special just waterproof butt splices from old wires to new wires.

Use a good body ground for negative rather than the negative in the harness; those are often switched.
