Exactly, I guess I should have pointed that out, since you were questioning the diode.
Both lights on together means big alternator trouble, and the most common problem is the brushes.
BTW, if the Brake light ever comes on intermittently, especially when using the brakes, it's probably low fluid level in the MC.
