Default Anyone know what could be wrong with my headlights?

My right turn signal started acting up recently. It would turn on by itself and blink or just stay on. Now the LED strip, low beam, and fog light is acting up. Just on the right side only. I checked all fuses, bulbs, and replaced the relay already. In the video, the LED strip blinks with the turn signal, low beam doesn't turn on, and headlight goes off when I turn on the fogs. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Check the harness from the light. I read here where a guy had a connector that was melting and causing all kinds of havoc with his light and fuses. From what I see, it looks like you have a short. I assume when the light was blinking at the beginning of the video, that was when you turned your right blinker on. If that's the case, the rate of blink indicates the load on the blinker relay is too much which indicates a short somewhere in the harness to me.
