Default Please help! Led Bulb Problems

I have an 02 Z06 and have been doing some bulb replacing. The rear tail lights are kicking my butt. I have put in load resistors and purchased some 3157 can bus dual intensity led bulbs from super bright leds. Well when I turn my lights on everything is nice and bright, but when I turn my blinkers on the brightness difference is barely seen between blinks and it looks like the other side is blinking as well. Please help this is getting frustrating as this is the second set of bulbs I have bought with the same kind of results.

I have had great luck with LED switchbacks, corners and marker lites with a JWM hyperflash harness...but the tail lites caused all kinds of weird and wacky problems (like the DRLs going OUT and DIC display dimming when the brake pedal was pressed) I finally just went back to regular bulbs in the tail and all is well.
