Default Lighting problem

I have installed LED's in all of the int and switchbacks for the front running lights as well as led's for the tail lights and everything works fine. Here is where the problem comes in. Then I installed LED lights for the front side marker lights and they come on and work fine, the problem is when I press the brake my fog lights come on and my int lights come on as they would if the headlights were on. I ordered the hyperflash harnes but have not got it yet. Will this solve my problem or do I have something else going on? Any ideas?

Thanks
Bryan

shoot jhonathan a PM at jwmotoring. he will be able to answer your questions. in the event you didn't order the hyper flash stuff from him, i would suggest you contact whoever you bought it from with your question. they should be willing to provide you with customer/technical support. if you want my opinion, i believe it should solve your problem as the LEDs draw so little current that they cause the problems you are experiencing when they interact with one another.

Several cars I've worked on have an inherent problem with switchback bulbs. They cause all sorts of inexplicable issues making the car appear to be possessed. Installation of a traditional LED bulb or incandecent
