Taillight problems

Hey guys, I have been having tons of problems with my tail lights. My car is a 2011 with 42XXX miles on it. I have the lighting package as well. The first problem was, i got the message that said to check my left tail and brake light, as I did i noticed the lower right bulb was out. So i ordered 1156 leds for both( i forgot to change the reverse light ) and every other day i would get an error message saying check left tail and brake light, rear fog, and check right tail and brake light. I dont think its the bulbs ( purchased from azn optics ) because its not a consistent error message. Can it be a socket/ fuse ?

-Thanks

My car began acting up with this problem few days ago too, and the warning sign didn't go away.
