Default tail lights

I just recently put new tail lights on my sportster, and both tail lights get power, but when they are both grounded and i hit either the left or right turn signal button on the handlebars they both flash.. as if they were hooked together..Does anyone have any suggestions. I tried only grounding one and then that signal grounded flashes with both hand buttons.
-Thanks
