Never heard of that one. Rear lights are usually double filament, eg 5w/21w. At night, when you switch on your lights, the lower wattage filament lights up so folks can see you. When you apply the brakes, the higher wattage filament comes on, to show folks that you're stopping. If it was on all the time, it'd kinda defeat the object, don't you think. Dunno where you got the idea that
brake lights(note the term "brake" lights) were on all the time.
