Default Flashing LED problem

I have the twin halo projectors with a row of three LED bulbs in the top. I have had these lights in since August last year with no problems. All of a sudden the LEDs on the right headlight started flashing all the damn time. Sometimes they just shut off. Rarely they will stay lit until it starts flashing again. Wtf? I've taken the wiring apart and cleaned them of any corrosion and rewired them but it didn't help any. I even checked the LED bulbs to make sure they were still seated properly.
Also, the LEDs are wired into the parking lights so they are never supposed to flash. Any suggestions?

I washaving the same problem with the LED on my license plate, about two months ago, so i change it, worked fine, but now it started again. Is not very nice to drive at night, and have your plate flashing randomly. Wheren't LED's supposed to last longer than regular bulbs? I had my old plate bulb for about five years, and never failed. But my back-up LED still going ( i think ). Or probably they were faulty
