Default side lights come on when braking?

for some strange reason my front sidelights come on when i brake, is there any known common faults for this does anyone know? or anyone know how i can fix this? ive been told to check for correct bulbs and earths and ive checked the bulbs and replaced the rear ones incase and still does it, not sure which earths i should be checking though? could it also be a fuse atall?

cheers nick

Check wiring plugs on rear light units. Also try unplugging each rear light unit in turn to see which side your fault is. It will be in the rear light unit somewhere, there is no where else the two power feeds meet.

Once you know which side it is, remove the tail light bulb, see if it still does it, if it doesnt, then you have a faulty / incorrect bulb fitted.
