I installed the morimoto xb hybrid lights, I have a 2013 2500, the turn signals do not work, and suggestions on how to fix it?

turn the ignition on but don't start the engine, check the turn signals. If they don't work use a volt meter to check for power at the socket.

So they were working with the old lights. When I plugged the new ones in the don't flash at all. Truck says both front turn signals are out

I haven't done this. They old lights were stock quads, which were not led.

I thought the morimotos we're plug and play

I noted about checking the turn signals with the ignition on but the engine not running for a reason, it should bypass the BCM from turning the lights off.
Did you try flipping the plug over into the new headlights?

Don't have any experience with them, but the website says may require reprogramming. May start there.

The hybrids use the stock turn signals and sockets. So, there's no reason they shouldn't work unless you don't have them plugged in, especially if you're using the stock bulbs.

Man I finally got it to work. All I did was change the setting in the truck to led turn signals and they started working fine. Crazy

I had the same problem. determined the solution was to install 3157 turn signal bulbs. the sockets were empty from the factory. No OBD needed.
