Back-up Light decided it's a brake light (video)

So I took my car into the stealership to have them fix the water in the tail-light issue. They replaced the light but it looks like they hooked something up wrong.

[EMBED]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/23yUeapA3-8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/23yUeapA3-8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/EMBED]

Kind of hard to see in the dark but the back-up light on the right side comes on when I hit the brakes.

The funny thing is, they only replaced the driver's side tail light. Kind of makes me wonder if that's the only thing not put back together properly.

It's still under warranty or I would have used the DIY.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should have done that anyway.

I just went for a drive to get some lunch and I think I freaked out the dude behind me when I hit the brakes at a stoplight.
