this just started happing or did do that when she got it. i would start with tracing the wires. seeing if they are get crossed up with a hot wire some place or even at the switch its self.

it started adout a month ago and i was hoping someone knew something simple that might be causing it because tracing the wires is a long tedous job

taillight: check bulbs if still good, check if any cut in wire or a short
headlight: could be bad switch or hot wire cross over

checked the wires close to the plugs dont see anything wrong around themu might want to go deep into the wiring. ive found some shit in places u never would have thought people would have touched.
