Grounds and then bulbs themselves. I had an internal short in one that turned on my park light. Would be weird to do an inside light.
I want my fair share

Had a customer years ago with the same complaint. Turned out to be a blown brake light fuse.

These members have some good suggestions. I too think it's a ground problem. But until you figure it out, maybe put a red translucent cover over the interior dome light and have the first ('68) car with a third/high mount brake light. Sorry just joking. Maybe pull one brake light bulb out at a time and check the result? Thanks for the humour, I needed that, fix 1 thing break another over and over again last 3 weeks, hopefully I pinched an obvious wire today. I hope! Dave

The interior lights light because the door switches ground the lights or the headlight switch grounds the lights. I'd look at the headlight switch.

I even got my finger burned when I touched it!
About the heat… think on the cigar lighter!
Bulbs itself! Headlights! Everything of that are heating elements on 12 volts circuits.
