Sounds like your voltage regulater needs to be replaced

btw- When you hit the brake the overheat light does come on. If you have noticed, it has a little (P) in the corner of the light, which indicates the parking brake is on.

likely right. with a voltage tester check the voltage at the light socket.

My vote goes for either a bad regulator or broken ground wire at the regulator, uses the ground wire to dump excess voltage.
