Default need help with new led tail trouble shooting

Hey guys just bought a set of smoke led tail on ebay from Acekogyo , when i installed it this weekend i notice when i had my headlights or driving lights on my brake lights are on as well without touching the brake pedal. When i turn off headlights everything works just fine. I installed my old set of clear led tail
everything work just fine with or without headlamp being on. U guys think the wiring is wrong with the new smoke led tail ?

I dont know for sure but I remember reading a thread where someone also had some sort of issue with the lights, and turned out that the wiring was switched around on one of the plugs.... Let me find the thread again...............

IIRC, you have to reverse the plugs or something of that nature. Just a manufacturing defect.

I have try to switch the plugs on the led tail around last night, i know for sure turn signals are correct because it works, brake light still stays on when lights are on without touching the brake pedal, also no reverse light what so ever. I contacted the seller on ebay he is gonna check with tech support and get back to me. Any help will be greatly appeciated
