The brakes lights work fine, Bill. The trouble is that the lights are
grounding through the brake circuit, and when the brakes are applied, the
lights go off.

You have a bad ground on the left side light assembly. Remove the lamp
housing and you should see the trouble. The lamp housing grounds through one
of the screws that holds it on.

The actual repair is to take the lamp housing off and clean it up, then put
it back on.
