Default Lights doing some weird stuff

Hello! I have an 02 dodge ram 1509 4.7 4x4 SLT. I recently had some issues with my brake passenger brake light not working. I went to change the bulb, but noticed that the circuit board connections for the bulbs was corroded, so I bought two new circuit boards to replace the old ones. Also got two LED lights for my reverse lights, in order to better illuminate behind the truck when backing.

I replaced everything, and started the truck, and still had a light warning me that a lamp was out. Strangely enough, my DRIVERS SIDE reverse light was illuminated at all times. My PASSENGER SIDE brake/tail light is not illuminated. When the headlights are off, both turn signals work perfectly. When the headlights are on, the right turn signal only flashes in the front, and flashes extremely quickly.

Any suggestions?

Putting LED's in these trucks can sometimes be problematic.... stick some regular bulbs in there, see if things start working.

+1. LEDs can flash error codes and cause the voltage to be thrown off in some cases by blowing a fuse.
