An LED does not function like a traditional bulb. The LED itself will have threshold voltage, typically less than 4 volts. If you apply less than this it is an open circuit and will not conduct (off), if you apply more than this it will short and burn out. Note this is across the diode itself the light you purchased may have a built in resistor, if so that could complicate this. My guess (and it is only a guess) is your car supplies more than the operating voltage to the diode, as a result to the supply linee it looks like a short circuit which causes a huge load and a voltage drop on the supply line. Voltage drops below the operating voltage and then the circuit is open so the current goes to 0. If the circuit uses a circuit breaker instead of a fuse blinking would be exactlty what you would expect. With a fuse I would expect the fuse to blow unless there was something else in the line with a higher resistance.

What I would do is bench test it to make sure the current draw is the same as the stock bulbs and if not wire a resistor in series to drop the current to what you would see on the stock bulb.

In essence, you needed a canbus enabled LED kit, not just any generic LEDs. Otherwise won't play nice with your SAM.
