LED 3rd Brake Light Problem

So I decided to add an LED light for my 3rd brake light. When I was done tested it with the truck off and it works great! But as soon as I start the truck the LED is dim, almost half the brightness it was at with the truck off. I am thinking of adding a load resistor to see if that will fix the problem. Im thinking it might be the same kind of problem as getting hyper flash on the blinkers. Has anyone else has this problem? Is there something I can change in FORScan?
