Question led tail light bulb issue

so i had gotten led bulbs for my tail lights like a month or so ago. everything worked fine when i first put them. installed the load resistors and no hyper flash. the other day some one layed on the horn at me when i was making a turn. i was like dude wtf is your problem. it was buggin me so i had my brother take a look at when i use my turn signal. they work just fine until.... i hit the brakes. lets say i go to turn right. right one blinks, but when it goes back to normal, the left one changes as well. thus they alternate when i use my turn signal with my brake. wtf is going on?

I ran these found them on eBay for $18 a set,and I had the same problem. I had to rotate them 180° cause they were bright when they were on for running and then dimmed for blinker and brake. That fixed them.
