Sounds like a bulb is burnt out.

I changed the bulb with ones that work and the reverse light on the right tailight doesn't work still. This place near my house said they would charge 80$ an hour to repair it thats psycho!!

Try swapping in the stock lights, that'll at least let you narrow down the problem (ie. is it the lights that are the problem or is there something else at work).

It has to be the actual tailight that is the problem because I've changed out all of the working stock bulbs with the bulbs that came with the tailights. I think its definetaly the actual tailight curcuit or something. should i rewire it or something?

I wouldn't recommend that you try to rewire it. It might be time to take it to a shop.

I had that same problem before when I put mirror signals on another car. It acted like a blown bulb, but when I wired it, a sharp edge of metal cut through the insullation and I guess was grounding it out. Check make sure there arent any wires touching metal.

'll try that out but from what I've seen the stock tailights seem to work best so I might just change the theme I have going with my car and do like a white red type color scheme I don't know.I'm frustrated.Pics soon by the way.
