1) ALL rear lights go out? or
2) BRAKE lights come on but all TAIL lights go out?

What happens when you use left turn signal?
What happens when you use right turn signal?
What happens when you use hazards?
How did you clean grounds? how clean did you get them? Where are the grounds?

Double-check your connections, light sockets, wiring. Connections should be bare, shiny metal making tight contact with bare, shiny metal. Anything short of that is no good.
