Driver's Side Brake Light Stays On.

Can someone explain why this is happening? The brake light stays on, driver side only.

I think there is current leakage from the LED driver circuit. I suspect each tail lamp assembly has its own controller similar to this:

Is the brightness the same when the car is off vs. tail lamp brightness vs. brake light brightness?

It's the same at all times except for when you press the break, then it goes brighter. Also the blinker blinks very fast

Sounds like possibly a bad relay if it blinks fast...

That's not one of those Euro spec Camaros with the mandatory rear fog light that comes on with the front fogs, is it? ;-)

Huh?

you put a mod on your car related to your lights.

you have problem with your lights.

you start a thread here asking if anyone has had any issue with their lights... without mentioning you messed with your lights!

thanks.
