It's not both. They are 2 independent circuits. The brake lights are brighter than the tail lights. I suspect it's going to be the brake lights. This is usually caused by the brake light switch at the brake pedal. Sometimes the rubber pad the switch lands against falls off.

. No, they are not. They are both red. If you have a yellow light on, it has to be a turn signal

Use a wiring diagram and a test light to track down the cause.
