When I press the brakes the lights go nuts!!!

So here is the deal i have a 1992 Camaro. Yesterday i had to replace a brake light on the rear drivers side. The brake light works fine but when I press the brake pedal all the interior lights turn on except the dome light looks quite funny but i was just wondering why the hell it is doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure that you put in the right bulb, if you put in the wronge one, it can screw up the electrical and cause this. Good Luck

Make sure it is a dual filament. I had a car a while back that the brake ligts were awalys on turn signals on I could not figure out why. After i had begun to rewaire it i noticed the previous owner had put a single filament bulb in insted of a dual filament aftetr that it worked perfect.
