the brake lights work fine when i have my run lights off, but when i turn my lights on at night and hit the brake, the right brake light goes out but the run lights stay on. i tried replacing the bulb but its still doing the same thing. i'm wondering what to do, but i think it might be a short. any and all comments would help. thank you!

I had the same problem. The answer is that the bulb becomes un-grounded. slightly twist the bulb holder in the unlock position a little. That should solve the problem. If not remove the bulb holder and lift up the metal connectors then re-install. Good luck.
