Default help.....tail lights?

so i have a couple questions . i bought the sequential tail lights where the turn signal each bar lights up individualy and then turns off as the next one lights up, pretty cool actually however, we installed them and they worked fine for a day, now the left side works all the time but the right it does not work when i turn the lights on say for nihgt driving two of the three bars are out, but the turn signal still works fine and when i apply the brakes they work, any idea as too why with just the lights on the right side would only have 1 bar working?
our the bulbs in our tail lights dual purpose or is the wiring harness bad?

I'd check the bulbs first and then call the seller. It's not too uncommon to have one of the harness/electronics bad.

I had something similar happen with mine too. My problem was that when I turn on my lights the 3 bars would light up (as expected) but when I apply the brakes the middle bar on the right would not light up. Anyway long story short, it was the bulb.

99% of the time its the bulb thats bad somewhere.
Replace them all at the same time with Sylvania LongLife bulbs.
