Electrical Problem?

My friend's early Nissan Maxima is acting up. I wasn't sure where to post this, but I figured someone in here might be able to help me. His brake lights work fine, but his actual night time driving brake lights do not work. Also, when he steps on the brake pedal, his panel lights will turn off, and his clock light will dim. Any ideas? I thought maybe there was a bad ground somewhere, but I know nothing about electrical stuff.

Thanks in advance for any help. Mods feel free to move this to the appropriate section.

Check all fuses. Sounds like it could be a short, or a blown fuse.

We have checked all the fuses, and they all seem to be fine.
