Led taillights help please!

Well I installed my Depo led tail lights last night and they worked fine, but this evening someone informed me my passenger side light turns OFF when I hit the brakes. The blinker and reverse lights worked fine. Weird thing is both brake lights work when just pressing them when the car is off.

Any help is much appreciated guys, Thanks.

They work fine with no headllights or sidemarkers turned on, as soon as I turn on one or both the passenger brake light goes out. Again any info would be great cause I dont feel like putting my old ones back in tonight

hopefully its not some underlying issue with the wiring. If your factory taillights work just fine, I would say its an issue with the new ones. May want to send em back

Well I found the problem. So I'll post the solution in case some others happen to encounter the same problem. Like I said earlier, the problem was everything worked fine until I turned my headlights on. With them on, the brake light on one of the new lights didnt work.

Here was the problem. Some how on the new lights, one of the contacts in the socket had fallen down in the socket. I used a screwdriver to pry it up to match what the other side looked like, result.. WORKING TAILLIGHTS!! Hope this helps if someone encounters the same problem.
