Default HELP - LED Lights

I am trying to install LED brake and tail lignts in my 2001 C5. I have purchased and installed a hyper flash fix harness from Corvette Central Part #665034. I then installed LED bulbs (3157) in all four rear lights. The right side turn signal hyper flashes and the left turn signal caused all lights to flash including radio, interior, all side markers, etc. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have not removed the harness but replaced the LED bulbs with regular bulbs and the problem disappeared.

...what he said. I had all kinds of weird and wacky problems when I added LED tail lights to a car with LED switchbacks and hyperflash harness. I went back to regular tail light bulbs and the problems were solved (...and most of the current LED tail lights are not BRIGHT enought for a brake light)

The bulbs are bad. Are they CAN BUS bulbs?
Try different L.E.D bulbs and you'll be good to go.

These work well.
