Ok so one of my tail lights went out and wouldnt light up when i would break. So I changed the bulb.... Now when I have my lights on it just stays lit as if i am applying the breaks but if i dont have my breaks on it still doesnt light up when i brake.... Any suggestions of what the problem is?? Or has anyone else had this problem???

Did you use a dual filament bulb or a single filament? First thought.

Sounds like a short in the socket. But yea....see if you got the right bulb in first!

The 1157 and 1156 have different offsets on the side pins. But for the brakes, you should have gotten a 1157 bulb.
