The left and right connectors are the same, but the wiring is different.
This may be a dumb question, but when you put a right-side connector on
the left side, perhaps some wires were swapped by inadvertently
following the wire colors rather than carefully mapping the wire
locations in the connector?
As for bulbs, if the bulb has a lower power rating than the original
bulb it would draw less current. If the current is too low, the bulb
failure circuit can detect this as a broken bulb. Sylvania lists 2057 as
the correct brake light bulb for the '92 Accord in the US.
