That's eaxvatly what I mean originally but didn't know how to say it . My brake light was only turning on when I applied pressure . Other then that it would be completely dark . I knew for sure that It was supposed to be on all the time ( the lower filament your talking about ) and then get brighter when I applied brake pressure . I replaced the bulb and cleaned contacts and it work great now .
