tail light issues

[jeddyminit]

i have 89 tails on my pre 89 and my tail lights seem to always go out.
let me start with some of the problems i have:

when parking lights are off, and when i step on my brake, the parking lights come on including the light for the gauges etc.

second, when my tail lights are working, and the lights are on, when the brake is stepped on, the tail lights don't seem to get any brighter nor does it seem to be dim when off the brake.

lastly, i have checked my tail light failure module, and there seemed to be a "circuit" that was blown.
the issue was solved by re soldering it but it happened to blow once again.

Definitely need a new failure box.
Check out the condition of the bulb holder sockets. Its common for corrosion to build up in there, causing all kinds of issues.
Toyota still has complete taillight harnesses. Or bulb socket pigtails, can be soldered in(if in poor condition).

Ya get a new box just make sure its the same color as the orig.
