Rear Taillight Issue

I have a 96 I30 that has been giving me issue's for the past month or so with the rear lights. All of my bulbs are good, but when I hit my brake's one light will go off on the deck lid and one will go off on the outside lens I've replaced all the bulbs and still the same issue. What could the issue becoming from a short of some sort or maybe a lose wire or ground and what would be a good way to find the issue. I don't need a Ticket lol

That is usually the symptom of when the light bulb has lost the ground. Most of the time it is a bad bulb, the filaments inside the socket warp and touch each other. But since you have replaced the bulbs, it probably is not a bulb.

So you will have to trace the ground wire for the socket in those problem bulbs. It could be the socket itself or where the ground wire connects to chassis ground.
