Taillights don't match when braking.

Taillights don't match when braking.
Ok, so, I ordered new tail lights ( lenses not bulbs )and during the install I managed to break the left rear reverse bulb. I don't know if that is relevant to my problem, but basically whenever I push on the brakes, the outside right tail light lights up and the inside left. If that sounds a little confusing he is a semi-diagram of what I am talking about. The X's are the ones that light up and the O's are the ones that do not. OX OX. I'm not sure if the broken bulb has caused some sort of problem with the bulbs or what the hell to do. When I turn on my lights for night time all of the lights light up and the same braking mismatch happens. I am very thankful for anybodys time and response as soon as possible.
Also, me and my friend were very high when we did this, so I could've switched something around. BUT, I have tried since to switch the bulb configuration only to find nothing to work.

I've tried changing the right side so that it would be XooX,
but it lit up both the top and the bottom of the very right bulb.
It was really weird. I've tried random switching patterns only to no avail.
I think im just going to buy a new bulb and see what happens from there.

well what did you do to the wiring?
i cannt see what the problem looks like tho....
just maybe your stock bulbs are just bad.... just switch the bulbs into different sockets to see if they are good or blown...

ebay wiring isnt the best. i had something similar happen to me, so i just moved thee wires around (reached in and made sure nothing was touching anything) and it fixed the problem.

Ok so I got a camera phone and took 3 pictures, so let me know. Also, I don't understand why you guys are talking about he bubls. I didnt change the bulbs, I changed the lenses. and in the process I broke one of the reverse lights.
Also, the first picture is just no lights, no brakes.
The second picture is no lights with the brakes pushed.
The third picture is with the lights on and no brakes pushed.

Yeah it's pretty much the lamest thing ever. Because, I'm really EHHH about stuff like this and everytime I push on the breaks I squirm because I know that the back of my car definitely does not look clean.
