It might need to be calibrated. If u disconnected the battery while installing the light.
If so.
Ignition on,
start,
steer all the way left,
then all the way right,
ignition off,
then restart,
lights should be off

check the STOP fuse if it's blown it may due to a short.
This happened to me, but mine was a little different cause it would blow when put on the brakes. turns out the harness to the third brake light was shorting out due to a breakage in the wires.
The other cause could be that you need to add a diode in line for the led brake light.
