When I press down on the brake peddle my rear deck brake light and rear break lights will go on for a moment, however as I continue to press on the peddle and it compress a little bit more they go out. Sometimes if I let off the peddle and apply pressure again they will go on and stay on as long as am pressing on the peddle. My regular tail lights do remain on however.

Sounds like the brake switch is acting up -replace and adjust it-
