    Default Left brake light diml + dash lights when brakes applied

    Hey everyone,

    Bit of a weird problem here that I'm looking to fix.. Have recently just installed in a new amp, subbie as well as headunit into my car but not sure if the problem arose straight after this or a bit after..

    Thing is now when I apply the brakes the dash cluster as well as HVAC lights up and headunit dims as if my headlights were on (no front lights actually turn on).

    Also went cruising and my friends said left brake dim and sometimes they all did trippy things like flashing and going general haywire, havnt noticed this but one is definately dim... thought one of the two filaments must be blown so bought a new globe and turns out it isnt blown...

    So what do you think is the next step...
