No idea. You shouldn't have had to rewire anything, just take the bulbs out of the old tails and pop them in the new one. I don't know how that could make anything mess up.

could have possibly pinched a wire installnig the new taill lights. When I put my new bulbs in my tail lights in my atlezza's, it was acting all screwy too. Turns out I didn't have the bulb in good. Unlikely, but possible, just check you didn't pinch a wire when you put it back in...

This makes no sense
Those tail lights are all plug and play, unless anyone cut harness there shouldn't be any prob.
Are you sure these are OEM or DEPO lights?

if they worked fine before you installed the new tail lights then didnt after you installed the new ones you got something wrong with the install, probably a bad connection isnt connected all the way or you cut a wire on accident.
