Right brake light out
My right brake lights don't work. I have these 
as my tail lights. However, both the left and rights work when the headlights are on. Still when the brake is pressed, the right side does not get brighter. I eliminated it being an LED problem by inserting a normal incandescent bulb in the socket. I eliminated it from being a socket problem by switching the left and rights. I checked the fuse under the hood and it looks fine. Any ideas?

Re: Right brake light out
There will be a junction point where left and right (and maybe 3rd) split off... you have an open circuit from that point to the problem side. (you stated left brake light works correctly)
Own a meter, or 12 volt test light ?? Start at socket and work backwards.

I will try and do that. Is it safe to eliminate the brake led bulbs switch since my left and 3rd brake light work?
