I just tried switching the inner brake light position with the middle taillight and for some reason the brake lights don't light up now. didn't unplug anything, just switched the bulb positions. Makes no sense...any ideas? Outer brake light still works so I'm really stumped.

 

figured it out... what are the chances of blowing the same bulb in each taillight? Must have blown from wiggling it so much trying to get it to fit.
