Bulb doesn't looked burned out, it's a Sylvania 3157K which goes for about a buck, so I'll pick one up and see if that solves the problem.

I knew you had aftermarket taillight mods and that they were causing the issues. I can tell you the only time I have ever seen this issue and it did the exact same thing was when I bought a 1995 Acura Integra from a guy. On the drive home the dash lights would only light up when I hit the brakes. The idiot had placed the dual filament bulb in the single filament bulb housing and the single filament bulb in the dual filament bulb housing in the taillights. I figured it out once I got home. Once something that is supposed to be grounded isn't, the voltage can travel back up the wire till it finds something that is grounded.
