Lights are effed up
ive been working on my lights forever and i havent been able to make them work right, its always something, but the main problem is that whenever i break my front signal lights come on, and my upper brake light stays lit when the lights are on, also whenever i break the wind shield wiper wipes.

Not sure about the last one but the first 2 are caused by bad grounds. You need to make sure the shells of all the dual purpose bulbs in the trunk are grounded. Otherwise there will be crosstalk between the brake lights and the running lights.
Turn lights OFF and put a weight on the brake pedal so the brake lights stay on. Now look at the back of the car. The brake lights that light up dimly are not grounded. The ones that come on bright are probably OK.
This will also happen if the wrong bulbs are used. Putting an X156 (round bulb with single contact) in a X157 socket (two contacts on the bottom of the base) will bridge the two circuits.
