Sounds like you know the problem- you have a issue with the wiring - connecting wires wrong or a bad ground.
A) the replacement parts are correct, model, year, etc ?
B) you are using the plug in connectors NOT trying to splice into a harness
C) the damage is more involved than you thought?
what happens with the old components removed - same issue OR vehicle operates normal...
A wiring diagram a test light and basic circuit understanding should make this easy work.

the car had an accident and damage the right side of the headlight, apparently the damage must cut some wires or something. i did not splice the wires its the same connecters
so thats why im confuse. im going to try a different headlight

I take it this isn't something that was reported or there is no collision insurance to have fix this?

Hopefully the high voltage wires aren't damaged and/or your not playing with them. Do you have a wiring diagram and know how to use a volt meter?

You should test the powers for the turn signal and headlamp sockets before plugging in your head lamp module.
The vehicle uses a smart junction box that is basically is a computer that sends power to accessories. Something is happening when you plug your lamps in to cause the smart junction box to freak out and do all those weird things.
Does it start wigging out if you have the headlamps on, the turn signal on, or just when you plug it in?

its only when i plug in the right side.
and i tested just the head light plug in and then just the turn signal light, either one has the same problem.
but the right side is fine and is always on and works good.

Something is goofy in the wiring. You stated there was some wiring work done? You should make sure that what they spliced together is correct. You might be plugging the headlamp and turn signal sockets in and completing a short or a connection on some other circuit because the wiring isn't spliced right.
Can you take pic of the wiring splice job and link the picture in here? Just want to see what your dealing with.
