Default When headlights are on. I have no driver brake light.

When the headlights are off my brake lights work fine both.
At night when i turn on the headlights and hit my brakes the tailight goes completely out. Not really sure at all how this would be fixed. I have a shaved hatch so i have no inner lights and dont think it has anything to do with it

yea im going to check the wiring when i get the time either tonight or tomm. When i was replacing the bulbs i have had water in my tailights sicne i got the car bought year and a half ago and the sockets themselves had the red powder rust type on the bulbs and busted when i tried to get the bulbs out. took me about 15mins to get the bottom of the bulb out of the socket with needle nose pliers. I blew a fuse in the process so i was wondering if that could have been apart of it but im pretty sure it was going out before i messed with it
