Did you disconnect the battery before doing the work? You may have blown the brake switch relay..

edit: NM - the car would not even start if it was brake switch.

If no one posts up, you're going to have to test each wire one at a time to figure out the running lights, turn signals, etc. Or maybe this has something to do with a relay if it's throwing check engine lights.

I ended up contacting 78works and got it sorted out.

The provided wire taps are very poor and do not provide a constant connection. I recommended he do it proper and solder the connections.

Are they not plug and play with the stock harnesses? Or at least the main bulbs?

They are plug and play, but they will throw codes. To rectify the codes, the provided resistor must be installed.
