Most of the taillight bulbs are a dual filament. 1 filament for night time lighting, the other for brake lighting. Are you sure that they are ALL working properly. Have you checked both of the bulbs in the back window. Have someone turn on all the lights and then step on the brakes. The one that does not glow any brighter with brake application is the one which needs to be replaced.

no its not difficult to get to the 3rd break light bulb. u just have to pop off the sub cover. u can use a wide flat head screw driver, there are two clips holding the bottom part about and inch up each side from the bottom of the sub cover. wedge the screw driver under the cover a lil bit and twist it to pop the cover off.
