Default Honda help.......

What would you say is a likely cause of problem on my mates civic, when he brakes his headlights come on, and then go off when he stops braking. Quite funny but any help would be appreciated.....

If the brake light and tail lights are together in a common 2 filliment bulb then thats your problem - the bulb has failed and it is shorting out onto the tail light and this in turn lights the rest of the lights up

leveling sensor or rear light units could have a short on em i think

cant remember but the focus had a issue with headlamps flashing when braking but not sure what caused that

yes, rear brake lights. Either a dodgy bulb, or corrosion inside the connector. Do the brake lights stick on when his lights are on?

Does sound like either a dodgy bulb or an incorrectly fitted bulb?
