headlight/tailight issue.

Brakes and taillights use separate filaments.
When you hit your brakes, the brake lights (different filament in same bulb) will light.
When you say your lights are on the taillights (red in rear) will come on. If the rear red lights are not getting brighter, possible that your tail light circuit is the problem. Access driver side kick panel, check fuses, check if tail light relay clicks.
Don't just look at fuse, measure resistance.
OP is looking for lowest bidder, I'll take it for $300 LOL!

OP,
You're talking about your
"2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. 3" Rough Country, 33" Fierce attitudes, removed swaybar, 2hi difflock mod. Build Thread" OR your
"1985 Toyota Pickup. 37" Truxus Mts."
LOL!
Your brake and tail lights are working as they're supposed to.
Your headlights take power form different circuit. Did you read my comments ^^^ regarding fuses? What have you checked so far?
