My tail lights went out and wont come back on?

i wanted to replace my spoiler light because it wasn't working so i end up taking the whole spoiler of because a screw was striped and i could not get the light cover off with out taking the whole thing off. as soon as i take it off change the light and put it back on the lights wont go on. theres only two wires and i didn't Switch them at first till i notice that then brake lights dont come on when the brake is pressed how ever they do come one when it turns night out. they just don't get any brighter when you push the pedal. i checked all the fuses and there all fine. any suggestions i reset the battery and that didn't work. any one else have any good ideas as to what the problem is.My tail lights went out and wont come back on?could be a faulty light that you put in as a replacement or you might have cut one of the wires on accident and thereby grounding it out somewhere on your carMy tail lights went out and wont come back on?Did you check to see if the element has blown in the globes? You may need new globes!My tail lights went out and wont come back on?i think you might have a short somewhere in your wires, go back through everything and check real closely.
