ok heres the problem my tail light comes on like the parking like but it dont light up brighter when i hit the brakes and i also put a diff tail light on and nothing any idears?

 

The rear light is a "dual" bulb, so the light my come on when you turn on the bike, but the fillament for the brake light may be blown. Its a piece or torta to take it out & have a look. other than that, the brake light activation switch adjuster, may turned in to far, so the brake light may be activated all the time.

 

had that issue after i switched my levers theres a small button behind the front lever that turns it on and off so on my new lever i built a tab to toutch the button to shut the light off ..... if not that i replaced the rear switch and that might of been it too

 

Does it do that with both front and rear brake? If both don't trigger to brake flare...likely the 2 filament bulb...take out bulb and inspect closely. While bulb is out, use a voltage tester...check if the trigger wire turn hot when you apply brake F/R. If don't have any juice, the it's the connection....
