My brothers got a 05 plate fiesta zetec. One of the rear bulbs (brake and rear light) went, so we changed it yesterday. Now all the lights come on when he brakes (sidelights, dash, rear).

Any ideas what it could be?

you most prolly put the twin element bulb in the wrong way round! Take the badger out again and turn it round. Tbh should have checked it was working all ok before putting all back together.
