i have changed all the bulbs and made sure they are seated poperly, starting to think maybe a short somewhere. all the bulbs blink at double time.
I have seen this kind of thing when the rear light cluster gets water inside or if there is corrosion on the circuit board. This is from a long time ago on older cars. Should be easy enough to check for though.

It's worth checking the earth connections to the rear light units. That used to be a very common fault years ago. Often you would find the rear side lights going dim as well.
