Help, Turn signal going solid when headlights turn on???

Ive installed some tube fenders and put led lights in for turn signals, I left all the wiring there with bulbs in it from the old turn signals and everything works fine. Then if i pull the bulb out of the drivers front turn signal, then turn the headlight on is when i have a problem. The left turn signal lights up and stays solid. Turn headlights off it goes away and works normal, turn them on it goes solid and will blink if it turn the signal on, but stays solid when i turn it off.

The funny thing is its only that one bulb, if i do the same thing to the other side it works fine? Anyone have an idea on what might have happened?

I tapped into the side markers for my front leds, and i have mirror leds that tapped into the wires coming off the steering column. I did the 2 sets of leds at different times and it started happening when i installed the mirror leds(1st ones installed). Im guessing i might have tapped into the wrong wires, but the turn signal works fine with the bulbs in?

I want to chop up the harness so i dont have all it zip tied up anymore and make it look better. Any advice would help, thanks.

The side marker lights are two wire set up where the current goes one way
when the headlights are on and the other way when the headlights are off.

LEDs work with the current only going one way...

I have found no way to make LEDs work in that appliation.

i dont understand why the passenger side doesnt do it but the drivers side does. And the turn signals work perfectly fine as long as there are bulbs and the sockets.
