Help: Head Unit flashes when I initiate turn signals

Whats happenin' people

2014 Scion FRS w/ touchscreen

Was driving around today and out of nowhere as i turn my signals on (left or right) the head unit and clock started to flash along with it. The radio acts as if i am turning the lights on and off with the dim/bright function. This only happens when the lights are turned off. This incident does not occur if headights are on and screen auto-dims.

I do have LED lights installed all the way around. Toms tails, Diode Dynamics leds everywhere else on the exterior. I also have the led flasher relay that came with the tailights installed. I have had LED lights installed for awhile now (over a year) but just recently went with the Diode Dynamics ones (yesterday) as i was looking for something more reliable and brighter.

Any ideas or have any others had a similar experience? Is there possibly too much draw from the new lights? Thanks

Do you have "Alway's on Module for BRZ" of Diodedynamics, that turns DRL and boomerang lights together ?
I've had a similar issue with a defective kit : when boomerangs was turned on by this module the clock turned very dark and the GPS turned to night mode.
