Sounds to me like a earth leak somewhere. Check your rear light for bad earthing or contacts.

Could be the voltage regulator to the alternator as well. Check all the wires that go into the alternator and make sure they are in good shape.

Loose ground strap, as soon as you hit the brake pedal, the brake lights try to get ground through the rest of the lighting, thus dimming them. Check ground straps, if need be give the brake lights a seperate ground, to by-pass the problem for now...
