Need a little electrical help

[vt_hokie2008]

What I've done:

I added switchback LEDs, drl dual circuit LEDs, fog HIDs. I rewired the drl to no longer be drl but instead act as a park light. I got power from the sidemarker so it acts just as the sidemarker.

The problem:

The driver side works fine, but the passenger side is finicky. Sometimes it works fine, other times it what used to be the drl doesn't turn on. Any idea what's going on or how to stop it?

Sounds like a loose connection.

All connections were soldered. Only place it could be loose is in tge factory plugs.

I hooked it up on the sidemarker first, but when it didn't turn on the sidemarker was off too, so I connected in with the signal constant wire (for when the signal is acting as a "park light") and the sidemarker no lo ger turned off, but the other bulb still doesn't turn on sometimes.

Maybe while fiddling with it it came loose in the factory plugs

Another observation: if I just turn on the park lights it turns on fine every time, but if it's coming on with the headlights and everything else, that's when it may or may not turn on.

This is a possibility.

Maybe low wattage...idk
This just sounds like one of those funky ass things that never get fixed.

I hope not. Either way, I'm going to have to pull the bumper/headlights again to try to fix it. Might just add another switchback in there and wire it directly with the turn signal. Any idea if I need to change the bulb connector anyone?

Well, I reverted to factory wiring setup, driver side works fine, passenger side is odd. The drl and side marker will not stay on together. If I have just DRLs on, it's fine. If I hit the foglight button, passenger drl turns off and the sidemarker turns on. Any ideas? This is getting annoying.
