Aftermarket tailight issues?

Check all the connections to your tail light.

No problems anymore, my right turn signal light used to turn on as I hit the brakes. I jiggled the wires around a little bit and cleaned up the connections and flipped the connector. That seemed to do it. Ill get some pics up soon of it. Im pretty damn happy with the look of it.
