Issue with rear blinker

Howdy y'all. I have an issue with the blinker in one of my tail lights. I have swapped all of the bulbs in my car with LED bulbs from Diode Dynamics and thus far all has gone just fine. However, this evening the blinker on the passenger side tail light has started to malfunction. It will blink intermittently and very dimly, which indicates that somehow the LEDs are not getting enough power; to me this indicates some sort of short, either in the bulb, the taillight, or the wiring to the tail light. The other tail light and both front blinkers work just fine. I took some video on my phone and will post those as soon as I get them uploaded. I am going to try swapping the bulbs to see if I can isolate it to the bulbs or to the light/wiring. I am curious if anyone else has had this issue and if so, what was determined to be the root cause?

Just do a search man. Blinker fluid is probably low.










jk. Good luck with tracking down the issue. Have you contact DD to see what they have to say?

lol I plan to investigate further tomorrow after work when I am not as exhausted, I will be for sure contacting them if I determine it is the LED bulb that is not working correctly. I won't know for sure until I try the bulb on the other side though.
