alright...i have no idea what is wrong with these lights...kinda have a mind of their own...so here goes...

the passenger side brake and driving light are backwards (as in they are switched like the brake light is on when the running light should be on)

when i turn the headlights on-both of the blinkers are on and stay on

when i hold the brakes and turn on the driver blinker the tail lights wig wag kinda like a cop car

and thats all that i can think of off the top of my head...any ideas on what i could do to fix it without rewiring it all

Confirm proper grounds for all the sockets/wiring in the involved lites, first.

well ok...how do i do that....what can i say i'm not very car savey

maxwedge

Pull the bulbs out, get a test lite on the contacts in the socket to find the 12v contact, then put the gd side of the test lite to the socket housing, if the gd is good it should lite, do this on all the suspect lites.

3rd that emotion, it's a ground issue.

If the ground on one light isn't proper, the power will flow through other lights to ground in ways the system wasn't designed for, hence the weirdness.
