Strange headlight problem while braking

Headlights are turned off, but they turn on and dash dims when I apply the brakes. Headlights go off and dash brightens (goes back to normal) when I release the brakes. For about a minute after I turn the car off, headlights will still go on if brakes are pressed. If I turn the lights on, everything is normal while braking.

Started happening last December. Was sporadic at first then became more frequent. Weird thing is it stopped when my resonator pipe broke off from the catalytic converter about a month ago.

Similar to "When I press on my brakes, all my dash lights come on...." post, but I didn't change anything. Headlights were okay immediately after pipe broke. So it was working normally when I fixed the pipe. Last week changed the left turn signal bulb and the right blinks fast now. Headlight problem started happening again today. Any suggestions?
