Default Tail light issues continued...

So, my driver's side tail light on my 79 still isn't working correctly. I know these things though.

-The bulb is new
-The socket is new
-The fuse is good
-The ground is good
-And lastly, I think this is the problem- I realized, after looking at the light closely, that one of the power wires to the tail light has more power than the other. I haven't tested it with a meter yet but I'm pretty sure that's the problem. The tail light acts different with the headlights on than with them not on. Anyone have some suggestions. If you have a good diagram of the tail light circuit, that would be good too, because yours may be more clear than mine.
