I think I deciphered that...

You probably got your hot and ground backwards. LEDs have to wiried up in a certian way, they aren't like filamanet bulbs where it doesn't matter which lead you use as hot or ground.

Since you've never done wiring before, it'd be easier to just replace the whole thing, because the only way to 'fix' the aseembly is to tear it apart, unsolder the burnt LEDs and solder in new ones.

Not to be mean but could you edit your question a little better so that it isnt a complete run on sentence I cant tell what the hell your asking.

What does the FBI taillights look like all red red/white red/yellow/white.
Do your turn signals not seam to work on the rear when you brake? A friend of mine had the all red LED strips on his truck and I told him to get Import trailer tailight harnesss adapter and it fixed that.

If he had them wired up backwards they wouldn't work at all LED's are polarity sensative the only kind that actually work backwards are zener diodes and they dont light up.

Some more info on how you hooked it up and what you exactly have would help.
