Short in the brake lights?

It would appear to me that there is a short in the brake lights. When the brake pedal is pressed the brakes lights come on but so do my interior lights and parking lights come on. The head light motors come on as well.

I may have a wiring issue, but im not sure. The battery gauge also drops from 13.5 to around 10-11 which makes my car almost die. Any ideas or suggests would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The car is a 1992 Firebird. I switched the taillights to a 1991 Transam's.

It sounds like one (or more) of the #2057 brake/marker bulbs is shorted out and needs replaced.
