The lights & brakes are on separate circuits.
As an example the brakes illuminate regardless if the lights are on or off.

As noted they are separate issues. Blowing the fuse immediately will indicate a short to ground most likely but can also be caused by a bulb so replace them anyway as a starting point and then check the wiring at the bulb holders for damage.
