Default Help needed - no brake lights

Guys I have an 03 Ram..

Problem started with lamp out and drivers side turn signal did not work...

I have aftermarket Depo LED's...

I tried the stocks and everything seemed to work so I replaced my Depos with new ones...

NOW I have no brake lights at all (either side) nor do I have reverse lights or left turn signals...

Fuses look good..

What did I f up?

You said you have after market tail lights. When you plugged the factory ones everything worked fine. Then you bought new LED that don't work. plug the factory one back in and see if it works. If they don't work then use a testlight to see if you have power to the bulb IF so then replace the bulbs. If you don't have power check the wiring and fuses with a testlight on both sides of fuses.

Some of the 3457 style LEDs, I've found out there is a polarity on them and need to be rotated or rewired on the four exit leads. I would go back with the orig OEM incandescents and start at square-one to make sure the electrical system is still good, getting a good burn all around.
