  Steve,

This kind of problem can be a real problem to find the first time you 
see it. After that it is a breeze! There is a bad ground on one or both 
of your right side lights. Once you find that, all should be well. If 
not, please let me know what the new problem shows itself. Repairing the 
ground will get rid of the opposite side lights coming on.

If anyone is interested in why this is the case, I'll be happy to 
provide more information than you will ever need!

Peace,
Pat
