Is this a supra? Did you screw with it? Does removing the bulb put everything else back to normal?

ok i took the bulb out and hit the brakes, and the only lights that turned on were the tails, so that means the problem lays somewhere in the bulb or the tailight fixture?

its possible that you put the wrong type bulb in there. The new bulb base may be shorting shit out. Make sure no wires are pinched or sliced when the fixture is bolted back in.

Make sure the bulb you replaced is the same as the bulb you took out. If its the wrong bulb weird things like this can happen.
