Ok, as most of you know i freestyle, and i think that is the reason why this happened, but everytime i hit my brakes, my headlight comes on, but i have no rear brake light, i dont know what could be happening, but does anyone know how i can fix that?

check the little black mechanism that pushes in when you hit your back brakes. its near the pedal. when you hit the pedal, it should move in and out. sometimes the plastic nut breaks and causes this to happen. let us know if you know what i mean.

there is a different switch for the rear and front brakes. if your headlights come on when you hit your brakes you've got something switched aroundj with your wiring.

Looking at the wiring diagram on it, i see to Diodes in the rear tail light. I would start there if it was me.;)

diode:



<hardware, electronics> A semiconductor device which
conducts electric current run in one direction only. This is
the simplest kind of semiconductor device, it has two
terminals and a single PN junction. One diode can be used as
a half-wave rectifier or four as a full-wave rectifier.
