Default Brake and Tail light out

Just noticed that I have a tail light out (when lights are on) and then when checking my brake lights, the entire side (same side as tail light out in pic) of brake lights are out. (2007 is250)

I feel like these lights are all going out at once, I have a headlight out as well and will be buying a set of the OEM discharge lights for that. (Just like the light output of the OEM)

I thought or assumed I guess, that my tail / brake lights were the standard bulbs that just pop in and out but I'm being told that I have LED tail and brake lights although they don't look like LED to me? Assuming they are LED, I have to replace the entire assembly

Any suggestions on what I should look at besides the OEM assembly since I will need to spend the money anyway? Would like to know what your aftermarket tail lights look like if you've replaced them.

Also - I noticed by browsing the forum that a "brake light" warning light should have came on in my dash but it's not on? How can I check to be sure it's working or what should I do from here?

Swap your left to right and right to left just to test and make sure it is indeed the brake light itself that is out. If it is, you can get them relatively cheap on ebay... lots of 06-08 OEM brake lights floating around.
