@ RT,

The brake lights are on a separate circuit from the headlamps, sharing the same fuse as the hazard lights and interior light ( if there is one of those). ", so perhaps you had more than one fault going on, or the wiring was not as it should be.
It wouldn't surprise me, to be honest. This was on my old Charleston, which was a bit of a dog and had been bodged (not by me) in all sorts of ways. ll I know is that when I got it I noticed that the dashboard light had an intermittent fault, and after a week or so I noticed that whenever the dashboard light wasn't working, neither were the brake lights or sidelights. Once I'd traced the fault to the sidelight wire in the headlamp shell, and replaced it with new wire (and replaced the foil with the correct fuse!) everything worked fine. The headlamps and tail lights were unaffected throughout.
