i am not sure you mean brake lights or tail lights.If brake lights don't work.You have to check out a brake light switch,(it conects to your brake pedal) make sure both wires are conected to the switch.And if tail lights don't work, you have to replace a head light switch.(where you turn your head light on and off)

On a 1995 jeep grand Cherokee limited must you automatically change both rear brake lights at the same time for both to work?

This sounds more like a brake light switch than a bulb. The switch is mounted on a bracket right behind your brake petal.....an inexpensive replacement. If the lights work for a good long time after replacing both at the same time it could be a wiring issue that occurs intermittently. You should replace both brake light bulbs at the same time anyway.....safety first and all.
