LED BULBS going bad, bleeding to other circuits

replaced all my bulbs in my trailer with LED's a while back and nothing but trouble it seems. worked great at first but then all the bulbs started burning out and they are supposed to last like a million hours or something.

they usually start flickering first, for a while and then they just go. the place i bought them said they would replace them but it's such pain to ship them back plus it's been a while so they probably wouldn't now.

the other thing is right by the front door there is a panel of abut 5 switches, one is for the main cabin which has 3 double lights on that circuit, and then another is 2 circular flood lights for the starboard? side of the trailer (which i also put LED bulbs in). however, whenever i turn on the main cabin lights, (at this point on 2 of the 6 bulbs are working), when i go outside, the flood lights are partially on, just kinda dim.

it's like some electricity is bleeding thru some how, even if the switch is off to the outside lights.

any thoughts on here? thanks
