Default Why do my tail lights and dashboard lights only go on when I brake?

I recently replaced one of the burned out tail lights. Then all of a sudden the interior dashboard lights, lighting on my shifter and brake lights do not light up unless I brake.

Explanations anyone?

its either a bad bulb or incorrectly installed bulb or the wrong bulb in the tailight.
i've seen it numerous times,backfeeds through the circuit causing odd problems.

You either installed a wrong bulb or you put the bulb in backwards. Yes it possible to reverse the bulb
