Sounds like you have a lot of work to do. This happed to me once and it to the beter part of 6 hours to completely fix the problem. Some adivce if the wiring is screwed, make sure sure you reattach the right wires together.
But this sound like you have a single filament bulb in somewhere, this is what I had. Taillight wiring is a very complicated set up.

ok check the bulbs then if its still that check the sockets they tend to get loose. and if all else fails u can always buy wire and re wire the front lights. thats basically all that was wrong with mine.
