do the brake lights come on when the lights are off? try checking the fuses in the vehicle for parking lamps/ running lights. the fuse cover should tell you what each fuse does

Well, found out that the wires had melted, the wires needed to be pulled apart from each other and wrapped with electrical tape.. the wires touching caused the fuses to blow repeatedly so once I pulled apart and taped the wires on the tail lights.. the fuses didn't pop and the tail lights became fully functional. Thanks for the input from everyone.
