First thing to check is to make sure the ground of the # 119250KIT is connected to a clean metal surface. It's possible the ground is weaker now and the brighter circuits of the stop/turn circuits just can't pull enough amperage to power. Since both stoplight and blinker circuits aren't working this is what I think is the most likely issue.
I also attached a help article on troubleshooting 4-way installs for you to check out as well.
