I purchased the same rear light setup as conradtan and seem to have a few issues.

1) The tail light covers I bought (smoked ones, look awesome!) didn't have a hole for the outermost light bulb. We removed the bulb to install and now the brake lights are acting funny. Do you think removing the outermost bulbs are messing something up? The lights are acting funny in that at first they worked, then only one worked, then the other worked and finally neither works? Help?

2) The third brake light from Vivid didn't work at all on my car. I thought I remembered reading somewhere about switching the wires? The ironic part of this is when we installed the same brake light on djomlas's car it worked just fine. What the heck?
