Installed Third Brakelight Kit, Clock Completely Dims / Airbag Slightly Dims

So I installed the F'n A third brakelight kit which is outstanding. Got it to light up, goes brighter when I brake and is on when my lights are on. There's only one small issue. When I brake while my lights are completely off, and only DRL's are on, my clock goes completely dim and the airbag light dims slighly. This only happens when my lights are completely off.

This is the second kit I was sent that's now doing this. I have Tom's LED tails, HID's, and LED fog lights (Toyota OEM kit), and LED DRL's as well. I am not sure if any of those are causing it but it appears to look like a grounding issue possibly. I'm not the best when it comes to electrical, but would anyone have an idea where to start? When I remove the bulb from the third brake light, the clock no longer dims. I've checked connections of all the wires tapped into the tail light and all of them are fine.

Not sure where to look now. Any advice would be appreciated!

Got some info from it, but I am not sure if I should start checking grounds.
