Are you sure you installed the correct bulbs .Double ck you installed the bulbs in the correct socket and that the bulb #(1157)(3157) is the right bulb installed.
I'm inclined to believe it is the turn signal switch. When you select left or right, the brake light is removed from that side, and the flasher is connected to the bulb instead, making the brake light on that side flash as the indication that you plan to turn. You have lost everything, but the simple answers check out.
If you have lost signals, brake lights and tail lights, then it is more likely that the ground supplied to the bulbs is not working, since the tail lights share noting in common with the brakes lights and turn signals but ground.
If the tail lights work, the fact that the brake lights and rear turn signals share that switch starts to look meaningful — even more so if the front turn signals also don't work. But the front signals and the rear signals use different circuitry in the switch, so it would be something more mechanical in the switch than electrical in that case.
when you open the trunk and look at the rear panel you will see a series of nuts ...remove them to obtain access to the tail light assembly and replace bulb ....installation is reverse procedure
Rear lights are double filament bulbs one side for the lights other side for the brake/turn signals so it still may be a bulb. Do u have a test light or volt meter you can check to make sure u have power there when brakes or turn signals are activated. Or just try another bulb.
Since this is happening only to one side of the vehicle and not the other than i would say you have an electrical fault in the switch and or a hot wire is broken not allowing your lights on that side to come on when told to do so.
