New LED tail lights not working

Volkswagen Amarok 2019 V6 amarok 65000 miles
Hi all, in process of building tray, put LED tail lights in. With just the acc on (car not running) the lights are working fine however when the car is running they do all sorts of weird shit. The park light flashes in place of the indicator but using the test light, the indicator still has power.

Anything I'm missing? Helpppp

Design problem with losing tail lights on Amarok

Volkswagen Amarok 2012 Amarok 150000 miles
We have 56 km very rough dirt road to negotiate to get to to the nearest tar road, my 2012 bakkie frequently loses the whole tail light from both sides. I contend that this is a design fault because the 2 screw in sites and the 2 slide in plastic sites are not designed to take the weight of the heavy tail light in my conditions and when we lose a tail light we invarably find all that remains in the screw in sites is a piece of the tail light that has broken off the light whereas the clip in site has broken off on the lamp side as well. We have now had to replace 7 lamps in years 9 which is 7 too many on an otherwise well designed bakkie.

VW wanted an agent to confirm , I have just had the vehicle at the dealers who confirm that this is a design fault as the tail light fitting is simply not strong enough for our road conditions
