Did you make sure you put in the right bulb? ie dual filament. It needs to be dual filament so it can do two functions.....lights and brakes.

taillight issue

My daylight running lights work but I dnt have taillights. They only come in when I press on the brake. No side lights or spoiler light or liscence plate light. New bulbs still nothing. Swapped fuses still nothing? What could it be

I don't think taillights, side markers and license plate lights are to come on when using daytime running lights. The only come on when using parking lights or headlights.

This is correct.

Turn on your headlights and see if the lights that are "out" come on.

He said he's tired of getting pulled over, so I'm guessing they won't.

You shouldn't be using Daytime running Lights at night. No one should.

I don't even know. I'm just as confused as he is.
