Rear light wiring messed up

Anyone know how to re-wire rear lights?
apparently the bodyshop that fixed up my car after my accident messed up the wiring of my lights :fustrated

my left break light is in the wrong place, it's on top of the reverse light and not on the outside corner. Kinda hard to explain, but if anyone knows how to re-wire rear lights let me know. I don't wanna bring it all the way back to the bodyshop cause it's one hell of a drive....unless I have to.

how could that be possible? they didn't have to cut any wires when doing the repairs.....
did they just mixed up the plugs? try unplug them and plug them back in the right place???

Switch the bulb sockets around....
it could just be plugged into the wrong hole...not a wiring problem.

Tmaks car was in an accident........they might have cut the wires and re-hooked them up incorrectly when they did the repair.......just go back and let them fix it. If they did cut the wires....don't fuqk with it, let them fix it. That's what I told you the other night when I saw you, remember? LOL

why do they need to cut the wires to do the repair? I don't really think it was necessary to cut them

Think about it.......the lights on the trunk and on the sides are seperate.......the one on the trunk, runs from the trunk, down the arm that holds the trunk, to the main wiring harness just under the back shelf......the rear side lights, split from the main harness, and goes to the rear side lights...... his light socket might have been damaged......and therefore replaced, hence, the cut wires. Here's a pic of the damage........

If the pix don't work just copy and paste the address...

PULOVR is the only one who saw my lights, I showed him the other day. The lights are seperate, the ones on the trunk and the ones on the corner of the car. So the wiring must've been switched by mistake.

icic.... but I still don't think the collision could damage the harness / plugs....
but anywayz... just check if it's just the plugs that's mixed up so u save urself a trip to the shop
