I was driving to a soccer game yesterday and my friend behind me pointed out that when i turned my lights on, then pressed the brake that my driving light went out and would come back on eventually. when i parked i pushed the brake and ran around the back to see and it did it again. but later that night i had a friend turn my lights on then press the brake and it was fine...any ideas??

are you running the stock tails? Sometimes Eurotails are not of the best quality.
I would start will pulling the lamps one at a time and looking at them and their sockets for corrosion or just being loose.

You do not need to pull the whole unit.. just the lamps out of it one at a time. Places like radioshack have connection cleaner. A liquid you apply with a Qtip to the contacts. It will eat the corrosion and give you a good connection.
If the corrosion is bad, I would suggest new lamps rather than trying to get it off.. it would be easier. You would still need to clean the corrision off of the sockets the lamps go to though.
