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.
