Red face 1979 instrument cluster problem

I've just replaced the printed circuit and instrument cluster(ordered from LMC) in my pickup. I've double checked to make sure they were the correct ones, and they are. When I use the blinkers, the warning lights above and beside the blinker light up with the blinker lights. The only difference between the clusters is that the old one was a solid white plastic and the new one seems more of a lighter white. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

You've lost a ground connection somewhere. When the turn signal indicators illuminate, they are seeking a ground through the other bulbs.
