I have a lot of LEDs on my car and they can cause weird things like this. Mostly you see a hyper flash/rapid flash in the turn signals. The cause of this is the LED does not put a load or have enough resistance in it and the car thinks the bulb is burned out. In your case, I think its part of the same issue.

This is what I have but it does not look like there is one for C6. You may have to add a load resistor to each bulb separately to stop this.

Corvette C5 LED Hyper-Flash Fix

Ironically, I got LED bulbs for my front turn signals, installed them and they flash fine, but the green arrow in my dash cluster lights, telling me the bulb is burned out. I took them out and said all the rears, the interior and license plate LED I have are enough LED for me. I thought the turn signal by pass I got above would have stopped this but in this case it did not.

In my case above and your case, when we insert the old bulbs, the system has the load on it that's needed and flash fine, or don't flash all the interior LEDs.

Now go play with your tools!
