Ha ha ha this would be a good prank

about a month ago i had all of my taillights out so i went ahead and replaced some bulbs. well i wasn't paying attention to what i was doing and put a regular park light into the brake light. well after that everytime i hit the brake, my interior lights would come on. i took me forever to find out why!!! the brake bulbs have two filaments (one for regular park light and the other for when brake are applied) well by puting in the single filament i grounded the interior circut and gave it power when i stepped on the brakes.. i suck
