lots of tail light problems. please help

about 2 months ago i replaced my center stop light, then a month later I replaced the tail light and turn signal bulb on the drivers side. Last night a friend noticed that my tail light is always on "brake mode" when I turn my lights on, and my center stop light went out. this means I have one actual changing brake light. any ideas. I'm going to replace them tomorrow night and check for torn wires, but I'm afraid I won't find anything.

but I still don't know why the center stop light keeps burning out.

No prob on the search thing,, not alot of people use it,, i just remembered replying to it last week or so, so, I thought I'd save some typing

I noticed the rubber grommet/bulb holder thing that my original aero wing 3rd brake light had turned into some sort of goo over time/heat constantly frying them(basically turning the bulb into a fuse). Situation may not apply to you tho. Something to check though
