When you ask a tech question, you need to let people know what you are working on, and explain the problem clearly...
What is a parking brake light?
What model and year bike?

Marilou,
Welcome to the forum.
Like Dan said it sure helps to know which bike model, the year, any modifications that may be part of the problem and the history. It's also good to know if you are able to troubleshoot using a meter. Lots of Youtube videos to help there.
Here's a link so you can check codes :

On your bike I would disassemble that light and look for the problem. If it's smoking when energized then wire insulation or the fixture is melting.
The connector for the rear lights is usually found under the seat, if you need to take it to a shop you could unplug it and load it on a trailer or carefully ride it to a shop.
Good luck
Bill
