Default Clicking sound inside the dash

Hello all, this is my first post and can usually find answers to my questions through a forum search with all the great knowledge in here. Unfortunately, I cannot find an answer to a problem/glitch that I'm currently experiencing and hoping someone can help.
I have a '11 GS and when I use the right turn signal there is a clicking noise that comes from behind the dash somewhere that is opposite of the actual turn signal click. I have owned this car for two years and never heard it before until Monday. It also clicks when I let off the brakes. There is no click coming from behind the dash when I use the left turn signal.
Additionally, when I was testing to see if all my lights were working, I turned the right turn signal on, got out of the car and walked to the rear and all of a sudden my trunk lid popped open (huh??). I shut the lid and it popped open again…and again…
So I took my key fob out of my pocket and placed it away from the trunk but then the trunk release switch (above license plate) didn't work.

On wednesday I spoke to a friend of mine who also owns a C6. He said it might be because I have LED lights but no flash resistors. I've had the LED lights for several months and like I said, I just started experiencing this problem this week. Specifically, the lights I have are LED side marker lights and LED brake lights, both purchased from Corvette Mods…here's the link to them:

I also have the sequential turn signal kit-not sure if that makes a difference.
Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you
