Do you need any special tools?

Yes you do require a special tool to remove them. You could drill out the screws and that would remove the ignition swith but you would still need a tool to put the new one on.

Probably either a bad ground (broken wire, rust) or a bad headlight switch. The brake light circuit goes from the stop switch (Located up above the brake pedal) through the headlight switch, through the light bulbs to ground. The tail light circuit goes through the headlight switch, through the bulbs and to ground. The only things that are in common are the headlight switch (Is this the switch you replaced?) and ground.
Not much, but hope this helps.
Have a super day!

Follow these steps carefully. this will help you achieve this replacement.
Disconnect
the negative battery cable from the terminal on the battery. Remove the
upper and lower steering column covers by unscrewing them.
Remove
the steering wheel by lifting off the center cover, disconnecting the
horn wire and removing the retaining nut and washer. Make a mark on the
steering wheel spline and the wheel itself so you can line it back up
precisely. Pull the steering wheel straight back to remove from the
shaft.
Take
off windshield wiper and turn signal switches by pulling them off as
you did the steering wheel and disconnect the wiring. Slide the spacer
sleeve off of the steering column.
Unscrew
the ignition switch mounting screws. Pull out the ignition switch.
Disconnect the wiring connector from back of the ignition switch.
Simply loosen the tabs and pull it out.
Insert
your key into the ignition. Turn the ignition switch to the locked
position. Depress the retaining pin with a small screwdriver and turn
the key to the Off position to free the cylinder. Once it is free, turn
the key to lock position and remove the key and key cylinder.
Install
your old key cylinder into the new ignition switch assembly. Make sure
the contacts in the cylinder and assembly line up. Reattach wiring to
ignition switch, slide it into place, screw in mounting screws and
reassemble steering wheel and switches.
