Default Mirror Lights Stuck On?

So I am having some trouble with my side view mirror turn signal light staying on. They are dimly lit and only on when the running lights/ headlights are on. This just started occurring yesterday.
Changes that have happened prior to problem; I have had some trouble with my trailer lights, I traced this issue to the wiring harness (plug and play magnum rack) for my headache rack. I disconnected the harness for the headache rack and plugged the trailer plug receiver back in. Trailer lights are working correctly now, but have no headache rack lights until I can get a new harness. But... the mirror lights are on.
Picture is of how it is lit... Also, I have noticed a change in the brightness when I signal the opposite side. Any thoughts??

So I have also found that one of my high beams is on very dimly. This is directly related to the lights being on- but I have been unable to isolate the cause. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to track this down?

I have been pulling different fuses to attempt to cut power to dim lights and find the leaking circuit but have not been able to find it... with the exception that the headlights being on or off. (so anything that comes on with headlights.... could be cause)

I found it was a leaking ground from the led bulbs I had installed for the headlights. I reordered them and the new ones worked fine.

hey, I am having similar issues. My right side stays lit with tow mirror when automatic lights turn on. I haven’t messed with anything & I do have LEDS. Did your LEDs still work? Did you notice your back up camera get snowflakes? Well mine does. My led bulbs still work & as my automatic lights turn on so does the right turn signal & I also notice camera gets snowflakes. When I turn off automatic lights backup camera is perfect & turn signal light turns off. Just got done scheduling a warranty claim on my LEDs. Just hoping that’s what my issue is.
