Default brake light issue

I have a 92 hatch. Just got it a month ago fron someone who "owns a shop." one problem im having is that my brake lights only work if my parking lights or headlights are on. What do you think the problem is and how do i fix? Thanks in advance.

You may have the wrong type of brake light bulbs installed. They should be double filament bulbs.
