i got a problem wit my s13 taillights, when the headlights are on the brake lights come on as well so it looks like i am always riding the brakes. I think the fact that when i hit the brakes my front fog lights come on as well, it might sound confusing but if theres any questions or any advice for how to fix the problem id apperciate it cuz wiring isnt my thing and i hate dealing with it. thanks

Pop off the back panel in the trunk and see if the car was rewired at one point for different tail lights. Make sure the wires match colors. If that's not the problem, start checking your fuses.

Check and see if the correct bulbs are in place as well.
