Steve,
I remember you mentioning about the #7528 BMW bulbs/ Do they create more heat, though?

they might but it hasn't affected anything....and in the front I have wired the blinker side of the 7528 bulb for daytime running light and they seem to last a long time

If you want to still use the led lights, I would try to ground them separately, it sounds like it might be back feeding

It has nothing to do with a ground issue, the video I posted explains what the problem is

You might be right but he explained in the first post that they all flash, according to your video, they wouldn't work at all if I'm understanding it right. I've seen his exact problem before and it was fixed by grounding all of the lamp holders. They're using a common ground for the rear turn signals which works fine for incandescent bulbs, but not for LEDs. It could be a different situation but that's what happened to me
