Brake Light Issue

I recently replaced my rear right tailight housing and it seemed like all of the lighting worked when I tested it out. However, someone told me today that my right taillight brake light does not work when I hit the brakes, but it works for everything else.

Does anyone have any ideas on a solution for this problem? Did I maybe not connect a bulb correctly, and if so, which bulb did I misconnect? I guess I am also trying to figure out why all of the lights work except for the right brake light.

thx

Re: Brake Light Issue

Could be a bulb. There are 2 separate filaments 1 is for tail lights / 1 is for brake lights. Your brake filament could be open. Or maybe a poor connection in the socket.
