Those LED side marker LEDs are tricky because they can be installed two ways. The wrong way has the diode backwards and back feeding I think.

Dash bulb LEDs would have same potential issue I think....

Don you are right, side marker LEDs can be installed two ways. However, it will work one way only by rotating it 180 degrees/ reversing polarities. Dash indicator LEDs are the small LED diodes , which are there from the manufacturer.

Unfortunately, all the issues started to come after installing Digitail parking lights.

The problem is when the side marker LEDs are in, the intensity of the parking light increases/become brighter. The blinker brightness when it flashes is low. This scenario is when the engine is not running. I have checked the voltages but
I am going to record all the voltages this time and list down all the observations withand without the engine is running.

Below is the link to the side marker LEDs I have

Thumbs up

Just curious why you used the polarity reverse adapter? My setup (same as yours) is plug and play with no extra gadgets. Which electronic relays are you using. I initially tried using one without the ground wire and had issues. Switched to one with a built in ground wire and everything was good.

I have painless wiring fuse box.
I had use polarity reverse adapter on turn signal LED flasher only.
Now I am using CEC no load LED flasher with ground wires
