What makes the brake lights turn on and off?
They have one or two lead button terminals on the bottom. Using a single filament bulb in a dual filament socket will short the two circuits together and make both sets of lights turn on when either circuit is activated. If your bulbs have the flat plastic bases, using the wrong one should only affect that one bulb, not any others.

Yes, as long as the switch still works. Typically the stop falls out or breaks before the switch fails. You can test this by sticking a piece of cardboard between the hole and the button on the switch. If the lights turn off, then the switch is working and you just need to replace the stop. Thanks!
