"I installed a new header bottle and now my tail lights don't work".
See photo. When you install a new metal bottle it's important to re-dress the tail light wiring so that it isn't caught between the body and the bottle. Otherwise it can short all the wiring together, and if you're lucky it just makes all the lights come on together. If you aren't lucky, it will blow some fuses.

Can't say I have seen that before. You would really need to be torquing on the bottle brackets to successfully do that.
