Hi, Materman, If the rear turn signal/ brake light are dual filament (1157) bulbs install new ones, Also if the front turn signals are 1157 bulbs ( for running lights and turn signals ) replace them also. What can happen is that one filament can break and contact the other filament and power up that circuit to,( brakes to turn signals or turn signal to brakes making the lights dim )
