Electrical Problem

[partyboy73]

This is a bit of a strange one so curious to see if anyone can work it out... Firstly one of my brake lights blew so as you do I changed it.. this is when things got strange cos after that I noticed that the left two lights were brighter than the right two, but when I pushed the brake pedal they swapped so the right ones were brighter and the left lighter... Then one of my reverse lights blew and since then all four of my rear lights have been as bright as if I was riding my brakes and when I do put the brakes on they only get brighter by the smallest amount... This senario was the most consistent and so I have not worried about it until I got pulled up and told to get it sorted. Does anyone have the slightest idea what is going on?

Have you replaced the blown reverse globe? Sounds like a crossed circuit.

No, I'm worried that if I replace it then some other weirder, worse thing will happen... How would I go about checking for a crossed circuit?
