The brake lights work fine when I have my run lights off, but when I turn my lights on at night and hit the brake, the right brake light goes out but the run lights stay on. I tried replacing the bulb but its still doing the same thing. I'm wondering what to do, but I think it might be a short. Any and all comments would help. Thank you!

Check the sockets and the grounds. It may be the issue

I had the same problem. The answer is that the bulb becomes un-grounded. Slightly twist the bulb holder in the unlock position a little. That should solve the problem. If not remove the bulb holder and lift up the metal connectors then re-install. Good luck.
