Default Tail Light Issue, need some help.

Haven't posted in a while, so here it goes:

I just recently upgraded to JDM ASTAR LED reverse lights and turn signals (front received them too), and now I have one rear tail light out. It's the passenger body mount unit and it is the unobstructed brake light bulb that lights up the majority of the tail light. Besides reverse polarity, I cannot think of a reason as to why this single light would go out. Any idea's?

P. S.- The original flasher relay has been replaced with a LED spec TapTurn.

Um, have you tried just swapping out the bulb It can certainly just be coincidence... Old car, old bulb... stops working... totally unrelated.
