thanks - replaced the pair and the problem has gone away.
Can someone explain why the front light would come as a result of brake light failure/low voltage?

On a double filament lamp, a filament can short across brake circuit/ parking lamp circuit inside the bulb, resulting in cross circuit feedback.
