They have a bad ground, if you notice all the other lights back there will be dim also. You need to track your ground wire or check your light bulb socket and make sure its getting a good CLEAN ground.,

Why are your dash lights are on in a 1992 Volvo 240 and get brighter when you rev the engine and dimmer when you brake?

You are experiencing a voltage regulation problem. If you look at your headlights during that rev period, they should appear brighter also. The taillights, during braking, load the electrical system and therefore, drop the voltage and cause the lights (all lights, they are most easily noticed) to dim. Go to an Advanced Autoparts store and have them test your charging system for free.

Why would the brake lights stay on but be dim on a 1995 Poniac Grand Am GT Quad 4?

a common cause of rear lights staying on is a bad ground. Have someone watch the brake lights while you turn on the park lights. if the brake lights go out, or dim noticably, seek corroded, or broken ground wiring at or close to the tail light sockets. another easy reason is the brake switch is out of adjustment, or faulty. set your cruise control, and apply the brakes. i am not certain, but most systens use the brake switch to turn off the cruise. in your case the cruise may not engage. Good luck. hope this helps.
