LED Reverse Light and Braqke Light Issues?!?!?!?

I just installed some LED reverse lights on my 03' Coupe EX!! They look sick!!!!!

Then as I was driving along my friend, in the car behind me, told me my brake light is out. It is my driver side. The light still lights up, but when the brake is depressed it doesn't get brighter as it should!

I tried everything I could think of.. Unpluging the bulb, unpluging the socket from the bulb, both together all with no prevail!

Can anyone please help me out?!?!?

did you check the bulb? there are two filaments and usually the brighter one burns out first.

The bulb was working just fine before I installed the LED's. I'll check just to make sure it's not the bulb by taking the bulbs from the other side and pluging it in.

you never know, ive busted bulbs by closing the trunk before or taking out a socket. it doesnt take much esp with an older filament for it to come loose.
