Default yet another problem

so my brake light indicator has been coming on informing me my brake light was out, so i changed it, now the brake light malfunction light is coming on, looks like a bulb with an X through it, so i thought i fixed the problem.... but no, my brake light are soo dim when i push the brakes that it doesnt even seem that im pushing them. i pulled out both sets or rear lights and when i push the brakes, the lights are barely getting brighter. shouldnt another set of lights come on to light up my tail lights? And...when my car is running and the lights arent on... my driver side headlight clear corner comes on. im so lost!! any ideas??

Default hows your volt guage?

that sounds really weird, but it could be as simple as a loose ground somewhere. if the car drives fine, it could be anything from a loose ground to some little creature nibbling through your wiring/harness. that would be worst case scenario.

Default very weird...

Did you use a dual-filament bulb for the taillight?

Could something have been damaged from the accident?
