This is my 1st time with Y!Answers. Can I post on my own question?
Mr.Know: I'm actually helping a friend. I'll see the 4Runner tomorrow.

Mr.Know: how would I resolve a bad ground?

@autoinsp -- Since it's only happening on one side, maybe it's a bad ground like Mr.know said. Maybe I'll try replacing the socket and see what happens.

A short in the wires???? NOT!
A short would blow fuses.
More than likely you have a bad ground at the tail lights and both tail lights and brake lights are iluminating causing the bulb to overheat.
Or you're putting 6 volt bulbs in a 12 volt socket.
Are you using the wrong bulbs?

It's so weird that I don't even have a theoretic suspicion... How about the bulbs are defective?
Now, if all bulbs were blowing, I would have an explanation but only tail lights...

A short in the system most likely.

You have an exposed wired and it is touching some metal or another wire.
