It works fine except that when the brakes are on and the turn signal is on, it won't blink from high to low, instead it blinks on and off. Also, when the headlights are on and I press the brake pedal, it cuts off, and when the headlights are on and the turn signal is on, it blinks on and off, not high to low like the old one did. What's going on with it and what can I do to fix it? Any help is much appreciated.

when the tail lights are on both sides should be the same brightness, when you hit the brakes, bith light should appear to get brighter as the 2nd element comes on, the blinker just interrupts the brake signal to whichever side is selected - anything else means you've got it wired wrong or are missing a ground
sounds to me like you've got the wires reversed, or both the tail and brake/turn wires both to the same terminal, or the brake/turn wire is hooked to the wrong side of the socket and the tail light wire just isn't hooked up
