Default Tail Light PRoblems...HELP NEEDED

Okay, I just bought a 1996 Integra and their seems to be a problem with the taillights.
I noticed that one of my bulbs was out but figured it was just a blown bulb. It turns out that
the previous owner screwed with the wiring back there so now the right tail light doesn't work
(although it does work as a brake light). Any tips on fixing the problem? Somebody with a
wiring diagram would be of great help here. If I could figure out the wire colors that
would make things a lot easier to fix.

On another note, the rear side markers(the little bulbs) may not be working either. When are
they supposed to be on?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Brett

I have the exact same problem. When I press the brake its
looks normal. When I'm driving, One of the two bulbs in the
drivers side rear is out.

Did you happen to fix it? Is there a problem w/ the socket?

When u say the previous owner screwed with the wiring, what did he exactly do? Cuz the only way that only the brake lights work and not like the tail is that he might've tapped into another power source. If you don't kno anything about electrical wiring, i wouldn't attempt it yourself. Instead look into one or go to an Acura dealer cuz they'll recommend one to you.
