Why would the brake lights on a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo not work only when the headlights are on?

I had this exact problem with my 1996 rodeo. turns out if you have replaced the brake bulb with a mono-filament bulb this will happen. If you replace the bulb with the correct Dual filament bulb this will fix the problem
My wife has a 2000 L series Saturn, she had a similar problem, the brake lights would work but when you turn on the headlights they would go out... I found this problem when I went to have the required, yearly safety/emissions inspection per our State Law (it failed due to the problem). I checked for recalls for "Saturn" and found that there was a recall for brake light problems, due to the socket which housed the bulb(s) for the brake lights, heating up, and melting the plastic. I then opened the trunk, removed each bulb 1 at a time and inspected the housing(s). Lo and Behold! I discovered a discoloration on 1 of the housings and realized that it had in fact started to melt. I cleaned the housing by scraping away the burn mark on the housing and the housing contacts and tested it... IT WORKED!! I am making an appointment with Saturn ASAP to have this problem fixed... Good luck, I hope this helps, I know that there could be several problems that can cause this other then the 1 that worked for me...
