i was in buckhead tonight (the club strip in downtown ATL) and noticed through the reflection on a building that my right LED sidemarker is now intermittently blinking and its a fast blink, the other side is perfectly fine. What could have caused this? And its doing it while the car is off and i just have the headlights on.......weird....

did you use tap-splices? check to make sure those are secure... just a shot in the dark, but i used tap-splices on mine and the first time i turned on my parking lights (wired to the sidemarkers) they turned on and off intermitently because the spliced connection was not secure
you may need to buy a new tap-splice or hard wire it altogether
good luck

i had this problem with one of my new ARES bulbs. I ended up returning it for a replacement. In my case it was one of the tiny wires that is part of the ARES bulb that wasn't lined up correctly.
