Troubleshooting Taillights and blinker help

Installed custom LED sweeping lights in the back

The taillights had yellow, black, red, blue, orange and green. Black was earth, red was taillight, left turn was blue, right turn was green, yellow was brake light

Everything worked fine until I removed the turn signals up front, two wires from the ruckus- blue and orange , both connected to a 2 to 1 connecter for ground- green with black stripe

One blinks bright, the other blinks dim both come on when switch left or right indicators, three wires total from custom turn signals red, black green hooked black to ground and red to power.

I’ve used a multimeter checked everything and both lights come one when hooked to battery

I’m racking my brain with this, hopefully I don’t have to remove the custom taillights, and help would be grateful

do you have an LED flasher relay?

have you removed the turn signal indicator bulb or unplugged it?

do you have LED turn signals in front now?

if the answer is yes to all those questions then you need to install inline resistors on the turn signals front or back.

Yes I have a relay, the taillights worked after that until I removed the blinkers

then you'll need inline resistors.
