Default Taillights blink when using left blinker, WEIRD!

Just as title says, when i use my left turn signal both of my tailights blink, its really quite weird, my radio also flashes with the turn signal, as does the odometer, all bulbs are working correctly. I drive a 2002 z28 I recently installed some led's up front in my turn signals and installed electronic flashers to replace the thermal ones. However, this problem started roughly 3 days after I installed all of these. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a wire's crossed someplace, but not sure where to start looking except start tracing the wiring.

It sounds like your turn signals are back feeding into your parking lamp circuit.

Check to make sure that your replacement LED bulbs have a high and low. Normal bulbs come in one and two filament versions, for instance, 1156 (one filament) vs 1157 (two filament). You need something that has a high and low. Try swapping back in the original bulbs, and then get the right part if that fixes it.
