I wanna say you have the wrong type of brake light bulb installed. They should be double filament rather than single filament bulbs.

The bulbs you need a dual filament. You probably have single filament, just go to your local parts store and have them looke them up.

im almost positive you cant put the single filament bulb where a dual would go or vise versa... the socket could also have a short

You have single filament bulbs installed and you need double filament bulbs.

The right and left brake lights need to be double filament bulbs because the same bulb is also a taillight, which is on a separate circuit.
