Maybe I pinched a wire when I was putting the wires in the backbone. I put new amber bulbs in and there was no corrosion on the connectors.

you defs need a load eq with the kury tail light and if they blink too fast do you have other leds besides that? you'll need another load eq mine flash faster since I removed my stock fronts and I have a panacea tail light with small kury bullets in the back...going to add the stop turn brake moduel and another eq and see what happens

You don't need an equalizer for the tail light as there is no connection to blinkers and since you are running normal bulbs for blinkers it should be fine . If it is only doing this on one side and not the other it is likely a defective bulb or lack of a good connection to produce load. If it's doing it on both left and right side blinkers the problem could be the relay or tssm. Check all ground wires while at it.

just for S and giggles, take the OEM light and hook it back up , if the issue dissipates then it definitely in the tail light assembly. Your rear turns are through the taillight assembly, which the voltage may be getting whacked with the Kury assembly being attached.
I just upgraded to all LEDs and without the modulator, they would work fine for a few minutes then go all whacked out as you described. slapping a badlands ILL-01-A Module in there will most likely rectify your dilemma. 10 minute install, and it will allow you to keep everything LED and turn your rear into a run turn brake trio. best $HD I have spent
As others stated make sure of the burned out bulb syndrome and pinched wiring at the tail.

I also checked the connections on the rear signal and they appear to be good. Double checked and the bulbs seem fine. I have to believe it is some sort of connection issue since it happens so randomly. if it continues to happend I will swap out the signal bulbs with the stockers and see what happens.
Thanks for the help fellas
