How long have you had LED indicators fitted and did you notice the constant dim instrument lights from straight after they were fitted ?

As for bad earths ( negative commons normally connected to bodywork or frame of vehicles ) you may not be old enough to remember the usual problem with bad earths on older cars, if an earth connection for one rear lamp cluster got corroded the current would try to fine alternative ways around, often when the brake lights were energised the indicator or rear light would come on dim, and when the turn indicator was operated any one of the other lights in the cluster could flash. They may have got over this on more modern cars by putting the operating switch in he common ( earth ) side of lamps, or just by making the wiring and earths better ( like the Japs did ).

Bad earth is a long shot, more likely LED indicators or water to blame, or maybe a wire chaffed on frame.
