Default Electrical problem.. tail lights

I am having a problems with my right tail light. When I use the blinker with the headlights off, it will work. However, when I turn the headlights on, the it will act like I have the hazards on and the reverse lights also will flash. It is only a problem with the right tail light. When I use the left side, it works like it should. Any ideas? thanks

trailer harness was the culprit for me. ended up being too much resistance in the wires. spliced in some new wires, and its as good as new!
