You might have burnt bulbs. The brake lights have 2 filaments. A "high" and a "low" take out the bulb, you can see if one of the filaments is burnt out and broken.

I'd also check the connections.

Thank Ruben


I checked them already, they're good, this is happen on both tail light.

SeV6, sometimes the bulb wont work even if the filaments remain intact. Try putting on some new bulbs.
