    Unhappy VP CALAIS Brake light problem

    Gday everybody, I have a problem with my VP CALAIS?

    Evertime i turn my headlights on and put my foot on the brake the right hand brake light goes out? but if i dont have the headlights on the brake lights work fine?

    I have replaced the right hand light loom with a brand new 1 from holden and made no difference? in fact it made it worse cause before only the top light went out not the whole light?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
