my taillights are messed up...wiring is crossed or something HELP!!!

Alright I cleared out my tails. When your car's lights are on normally.....My bottom white part comes on all the time when the red is supposed to be, the red isnt on.

Now when I hit the brakes the white light stays on and the brake light comes on like it is supposed to. But then the red light goes off again when you release the brake.
Also my turn signals are working correctly.

I checked all the wires and stuff and I swear I have it right. I have no idea whats going on. I would think that if the white was coming on when the red was supposed to the white would come on when the brakes are hit but it works the correct way when you hit the brakes.

WHAT THE HAY IS UP?

You have me confused, but maybe you put the bulbs in the wrong sockets?

Either the bulbs are in the wrong place or the wires are plugged in the wrong connection. You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. It's not hard.

You have two things going on.

1)Wrong bulb in the wrong place
2)Wrong plug in the wrong place

If you just step back, look closely at it, you WILL figure it out. It's not rocket science.

HINT:
Brake lights - bulbs with 2 philliments
Reverse lights - bulb with 1 philliment
Blinkers - bulbs with 1 philliment (those work so leave them alone!)

Plugs:
2 prongs to go bulbs with one philliment
3 prongs go to bulbs with 2 philliments
