So my problem isn't quite a single filament bulb. It is like one tho. This is my dilema I recently purchased LED bulbs for my front turn signals because I had heard that they last longer and are more durable so I installed them and I liked them so much that I figured that I would do so with my rear turn signals/brake lights but now when I turn my turn signals on they don't blink or even turn on at all. But my brake lights will work so I need some advise on how to wire a relay so that my brake light will turn off when I turn my turn signal on

The problem is the LEDs are a much lower load than the original bulbs, and the turn signal relay relies on the current to heat up an element to make it flash. You might look into getting an electronic flasher that works with the lower current draw.

Tridon EP37 Check and see if this one matches the type of flasher relay you have-
