Default Turn signal and brake light problems. PLEASE HELP!

So this is going to sound really weird, but whenever I turn my headlights on all of the following go wrong.

Whenever I hit the brakes both the turn signal indicators light up on the dash and i can not use my blinkers.
If i am not hitting the breaks and i turn on the blinkers they blink irradicly and all the lights in the back of the car are strobing back and forth, including the middle light on the trunk.

Any suggestions???
Thanks

did you replace light bulb , brake or tail lght??
if it is you must install the wrong light bulb , if not sometning is short on the light bulb socket , either the metal for tail light touch the brake light .... a short result is short circuit between taillight and brake light.......

What have you done to the lighting / electrical system recently, this doesn't sound like something that can happen out of the blue unless some wires are exposed and crossed but it doesn't seem likely.

Nope...... check with the melted light bulb socket on the back , tail and brake light or front side marker where the signal light is , something in there, defenetly short. thats why hen you aply brake the power go back to the small light and turn on all the light on dash and all the small light around the car.. take out one by one light bulp all 4 aroun , make sure one by one so you know which is the prob.....
