LED flasher for LED front & rear

So is there any definitive answer to which flasher works for sure with both front DRLs and tail lights swapped to LEDs? I have an issue with my 02 formula and the passenger side DRL not functioning properly (worked fine with regular bulbs and stock flasher). I have the EF32RL flasher and LEDs in the front and back and everything besides that front passenger DRL works properly, occasionally it will work but 90% of the time it doesn't. Either it won't light up at all or it is super dim and wont flash when the right turn signal is on, however lights up when the headlight switch is turned on (but signal still doesn't work). I originally tried this flasher with just the LED daytime running lights which gave me the same problem, and figured I'd swap to LED tail lights also thinking that might be the issue, but didn't matter. Also replaced the DRL bulb sockets thinking the old crusty plastic and corroded terminals might be the problem, but same issue persists. I tried the LL552 flasher and that made all of them not function properly so switched back to the EF32RL. Is this just a problem of the wrong flasher or is there some other issue? Maybe a bad DRL module? Any ideas?

2 X Keep It Clean No Load Fixed Pulse Flasher PN KICFF552NLF (One for turn signals and one for hazards)
4 X Pilot Automotive 3157 Red LED Light Bulbs (2 inner tail light bulbs)
2 X Auxito 194 LED Bulbs (Outer tail light bulbs)
4 X Auxito 194 Amber LED Bulbs (Side Markers)
2 X 3157 Amber LED Bulbs (Front turn signals)
I've had the 3rd brake light for a while now, I forget where it got it but lots of places carry them now. I did have to add some resistors to the 3rd brake light circuit to retain my cruise control.

I would start with swapping the LED bulbs between sides. If the problem switches sides then you know the bulb is bad. If the problem remains on the right side then you have a problem with the socket (corrosion), the wiring (bad ground or broken wire), or possibly the DRL module.

Direct diode rear tails and reverse lights work for great
drl Sylvania leds work for great
the issue is the third brake light which is just of eBay 2 direct plug in leds and don’t work lol........
So which resistor would I need and where would it go for third brake light
thanks again in advance

The same resistor that is used for turn signals should work fine with the third brake light. They are 6-ohm, 50-watt resistors packaged in a heat sink. They are available in packaged sets for under $10 online and in almost every auto parts store. Wire one in parallel to the LEDs - connect one lead to the LED positive wire and the other to the negative wire or any good ground. DO NOT install inline in the LED power lead.

I need help. I read through this thread and went Alla Lighting all 4 corner LED turn signals and then used the FF552NLF No Load Flasher I purchased on (you can see the part number 'FF552NLF ' on the very bottom of the page.)
My LED's are not flashing using 4 ways or turn signals with the new flashers. If I replace one LED Bulb per side with a incandescent bulb then my turn signals and four ways will work again. Why is the no-load flasher not working on my LED's?

This includes two flashers (turn signals and emergency lights), we connect both ground wires together and include easy to follow 4th gen specific instructions. We use the United Pacific 90650 flashers. These are the same flashers we use in our combos and other products that need flashers.
