if anyone is familiar with sharp light innovations, i recently bought and installed new led light for my reverse lights, all 4 tail lights, fog lights and all front corner lights.i installed all the rear end lights a few weeks prior to the front lights with the hyperflash harness. everything worked just fine, including the fog lights. after installing the corner lights EVERYTHING when crazy. i attached a video showing the hot mess that is my lights currently. its is for some reason affecting my a/c control module, causing it to flash as well as my dash lights as soon as i turn my car on. nothing really changes to the rear lights. once i turn head lights on, the flashing stops and mostly normal function takes place with a few issues; blinker noise changes from its regular clicking sound to the alarm sound for say seat belt not fastened and the left blinker icon on the HUD just stays one whether its activated or not. a guy at sharp light said it sounds like "poltergeist syndrome" (dont know if that means anything to any one) and said my multi function switch could be failing, not saying that isnt a possibility but i changed that out a little over a year ago. im at a complete loss here. they sent me a video for cleaning grounds, which i have also done in the past with a few on the grouns found easily under the hood, does anyone know if any of the grounds directly affect lighting that i can try to clean?
One or more of the LEDs installed in the front is defective or there is a broken wire in harness for the front lights.
Saw something similar on a friends car where the ground wire for the taillights was broken. He had no taillights but had weird issues when pressing the brake pedal using the turn signals.
Look at the chassis ground next to the passenger side hood hinge. All the marker lights in the front go through this ground.
What happens if you put the original bulbs back in?

If you want to troubleshoot this, the first step would be to go back to the point where everything used to be fine and verify that things return to normal. Then replace bulbs again, but just one at a time, verifying functionality after each step, until you find the one that causes the problem.
ok so i put all the original bulbs in and everything worked fine. i started to replace bulbs with new ones and noticed that the blinker lights flashed like crazy one way, turned them around and they stopped but stayed on the amber color, manufacture said it should be on the white light, so it seems like the other way that causes flashing is the correct way?? even though it flashed amber as well. also after fling just the one light to where it flashes crazy immediately causes the others to flash too.
just for giggles i positions both blinkers in the position where they stopped flashing and everything mostly works fine except the running light is amber instead of white and my fog lights dont respond at all even when pressing the button. if i turn headlights on, the fog lights then come one.
If I'm reading you right, it seems your switchbacks (DRL-Turn Signals-Hazard/Parking Lights) are the ones causing the problem. If you leave all the new LED bulbs in place except the switchbacks (put the 2 OEM incandescent bulbs instead of the switchbacks), does everything work as it should?
If yes, your switchbacks are defective.

yes that is mostly accurate, i still have no control of my fog lights with the fog light switch, they only come on when i turn headlights on. but all the crazy flashing stops and most everything returns to normal functionality. it starts going nuts again when i plug either of the blinker lights back in.
