I'm confused as to why removing the marker lights would fix the LED dash indicator bulbs from lighting, unless they're not really LED bulbs. If they were incandescent bulbs then I would say that you have a bad ground in the dash that needs to be fixed but if they really are LED bulbs then that doesn't make sense as a LED bulb would block current from flowing in the reverse direction through the ground. So are you sure they are LED bulbs?
I have checked the voltage at parking light wire (brown) and blinker wire (blue):

-engine not running, parking light on, blinker off, LED side markers installed:
*Parking light voltage (passenger and driver side) is 25.4V
*Blinker wire voltage is 12.1V


-engine not running, parking light on, blinker off, LED side markers removed:
*Parking light voltage is 25.8V
*blinker wire voltage is 0V

-engine running,parking light on, blinker off, LED side markers installed:
*Parking light voltage is 29.5V
*Blinker wire voltage is around 15V
* blinker wire voltage when LED side markers remove is 0V


So it seems like the LED side markers when installed are feeding voltage to the blinkers (even being off). This is causing the blinker part is partially lit.



Here is the link to the LED side markers

As I said, this issue had become after installing Digitails parking light kit

I will try to run a wire from my battery negative terminal to the LED ground wire and see what will happen.
