Default taillight wiring, wierd ****!

Well, I just got my first crx and for the first few hours when i drove it, the lights and everything worked fine. i got home and was crusing over to a restaurant and my brother tells me that my taillights are ******* up. basically when i press on the brake pedal, the running lights(on the right side ONLY) go off and the blinker dimly turns on. also, only a one of my running lights up front is working. I'm most concerned about how the taillights are acting. even the middle, tiny brake light goes out on the right side. i'm thinking that either a wire got crossed, a bulb blew, or a fuse blew.
Anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

So should i just start pulling taillight bulbs? What about the running lights, you think they are burnt out? I was thinking maybe a blown fuse caused alll of thiss???

If you put a single filament bulb where a dual filament bulb should be, it can cause stuff like this.
