Bad LCM or something else? (photos/videos)

So I've had this car about six years now, and almost immediately I replaced the amber tails with clears from a facelift model. The standing lamp section (middle one) is always lit at brake lamp intensity when the lights are on. It's not really a big deal, but definitely something that is irritating to a perfectionist like myself. I coded off Adaptive Brake Lights, but the problem persists. I recoded the LCM with SSS Progman and followed the LCI Taillamp retrofit path, again... no help.

Secondly, after installing DEPO projector HIDs w/ LED corona rings last year, my instrument cluster and ambient lighting has a tendency to be either incredibly dim, somewhat dimmer than full intensity, or full intensity. In the first case, the dimmer switch doesn't respond at all.

Anybody have any ideas? I'm going to dump my LCM FSW_PSW or whatever in a few minutes and post it, maybe one of you knowledgable folk can detect if anything is a miss.

PS: Is it possible to embed videos on here?
