His lights are after market led and whoever put them in cut the factory harness and just wired them in that way they are not grounded to the body or frame its kinda a wiring nightmare

Get a test light and run a new good ground wire. then turn on your running lights and connect the test light between the "for sure good ground" and the wires. The one that is hot (test light lights up) is your running lights, repeat prochedure for left turn signal & right turn signal, etc. Good luck!
