check for a broken ground wire..could possibly be arcing out the lights and blowing them

it doesnt blow the headlight bulb just goes out when brakes are on once u release headlight comes back on that with the brake light bulb in when its out doesnt do it, still check the ground wires??

Yup, check the ground wires and look for any others that may be damaged.

check for a broken rear light bulb.
shorting out when hitting brake.

voltage regulator??

disconect yellow wire from voltage regulator,start machine(do not rev it will blow bulbs)now look at headlight and apply brake if light does not dim or go out you need to change voltage regulator.

I am having a light problem also, not working = head, brake, dash lights, working = ACC, tail lights, could this be the regulator, or is it something else?

Thanks

If they are all blown then it is the regulator.
