Are my bulbs bad, sockets bad, or do I have a wiring issue? Do the brake and tail lights both run from the same bulb?
Hi,
So, both sides are not working? Check for voltage @ the brake light bulb to see if you're getting power. Also, look in the fuses.
check out the online Subaru forums, too.

turn head light on and try to start car if they dim way down replace battery or connect a volt meter to bat check voltage while cranking. it must be 12 volts or higher.
SOURCE: tail lights
There is a switch on top of the steering column that switches the parking light facility on and off. Check that this switch is not in the on position . If it is on then your side lights will stay on even if you turn the lights off.
SOURCE: Subaru, no tail lights brake lights work fine
Check for power at the lights. If there is power then it's probably a bad ground. If not then you need to start checking the wiring harness for breaks or loose connection. Good luck, Neil W.

do you have a trailer hitch? if yes disconnect convertor box the light behind the dash should not be related bulb just out, also make sure bulbs you've changed are correct
SOURCE: reverse lights don't work. replaced
is this car an automatic transmission? if it is then you will need to check the gear selector switch on the transmission. I have seen one that would not properly engage for the park/neutral and reverse switches to function but the car was still drivable.
