If the idiot light illuminates when the service brake is applied, it is a brake light. If the idiot light illuminates when the headlights are turned on, it's either a headlight or tail light.

Also check for corrosion on the contacts. A corroded contact the bulb may still light up, but the sensing circuit doesn't detect it. And check for a corrode ground on the tail lights.
