Default help! rear lights are freaking out!

so i notice that when i put on the left hand turn signal it just stays lit, if you haven't experienced this problem it means i have a light out...or so i thought.

i replaced all the lights in the back because i haven't since i got the car and just figured it'd be a good idea...and go to turn on the signal to check...still no good.

so i put off trying to figure it out cause it was 10pm when i replaced them and it was cold. a day or two later, someone tells me i have a brake light out...wtf.

so the drivers side tail light stays lit like i have the brakes on 24/7 and the passenger side tail doesn't light up when i mash the brakes it just stays on the running lights...WTF!

i am SO lost, i'm sure it's a short circuit or something...anyone had any problems like this? i'm so confused and hate having lights out and when i can't run my lights because it will look stupid.

Check the light sockets up front, especially the driving lights, mine did the sme thing and the driver side light(the yellow ones) the socket was melted. Not a big deal I paid $45 bucks at the dealership, happy hunting
