theres obviously a cross connection or a short somewhere. youre gonna need to get a multimeter and check to see if the brake light is shorted to the headlights-and if they are, which i suspect, you are going to nave to find out where by elimination!1 ie disconnecting things(lights etc)one at a time etc, you might be lucky and find it early, but 'wires' dont tend to short, the shorts are normally found in light clusters etc, happy hunting

what drippy said.
it could be the filiment in the brakelight bulb broken an welded itself onto the sidelight filiment causeing power to flow down the sidelight circuit also operating your headlights when you press your brakes single pole bulbs will not fit in double filiment bulb holders the pins on the side of the bulb are ofset

yeah they aint meant to fit, but the bulb fittings are that soft that it is very difficult to tell if its a good fit or the wrong fit, and its very easy to just force them in.
