did you check to see if the bulbs are in the right way. there is a way to force an 1157 in the wrong way. i've seen it happen before.

Exactly right--there is a low stud and a stud in the middle of the bulb---if you try hard enough, you can force them in the light fixture incorrectly. Easy way to tell---pull the offending bulbs and look at the grooves in the light fixtures---you'll see the lower stud on the buld should easily slide all the way to the bottom of the light fixture in it's respective groove--while the stud that is midway down on the bulb has it's own seperate groove going only half way into the fixture. If you've got that part right, then I would swap bulbs side to side to see if perhaps they are indeed the wrong bulbs--let us know what you find out. Hope this helps---

Also make sure the rear harness has a good ground. Sometimes a bad ground can cause similar problems.

Yup, we've flipped, flopped, switched and swapped bulbs and the ground is good.
