short in the wiring at the tail light, have a look for corrosion or cut wire, possibly overheated and melted the insulation?

Go outside now and press your foot on the brake without the parkers or headlights on, if the dash lights illuminate check to see if your front parkers go on.
If so, chances are you have the wrong globe in the brakes. or as stated a dodgey earth or connection. I'd be removing the globes WDing the connections and replacing all globes for a measilly $10 and enjoying the evenness of light lumens!
