have you got the lights in the right holes? and are the connectors all clean?

Sounds more like you got an earthing issue or wires mixed up. Was running on two positives on my rear lights, managed to mix it up with the brake wiring so when had the lights on then braked the rear lights went out :laugh: im sure I had some strange looks for a while but great when it was the rear lights for the plates, it used to disappear :D

im just about to check the earths as all ive done so far is unplugged the wiring loom from the white clip where the door is and ran that straight through to the lights all the terminals are clean with no cut wires thankyou for your suggestions im pulling my hair out:eek:

not that i can see or hear where should the earths be for the lights as all i have is the connectors that push on to the lights nothing going to the chasis

Get a multimeter out and found out whats happening.

Its more of which wires are postive and negative on them, find out if there is a cross wire as you say. Find out if power does go if when you put the brakes on or does is it 2 positive powers trying to feed the rear light so it will make it go out.
