Default 2016 XL 1200 custom cx Running light / brake light issue

I just recently bought some LED lights for my XL 1200 roadster. The front directionals and running lights work fine. The back directionals work the stock brake light lights up fine and gets brighter when the rear brake is applied, but the bullet directionals don't light up like the stock brake light that is attached to the fender when just running. They only work in using the directionals.
The front and rear LED lights came with the needed adapter from the bulb to LED. As said before the front has no issue but only the back directionals work going left or right but don't light up in the running mode. Could it be a faulty pair or something else. Anybody have this happen to them? Any ideas?
