Default Break light out

Hi everyone I'm new here but have been reading the forums for close to a month. well my problem is that I have rear lights but, no break lights, everything else seems to be working fine. I did check the fuses and are perfectly fine. I also checked the break switch and thats working as well. I just installed a new head unit and did mess up with the illuminating wires but have fixed that. i have a 03 gt. any ideas please help.

thanks

They are a duel filament bulbs, and you can blow the brake light filament out and still have the running lights work. Just replace the bulbs and you will be good to go. I just had my driver side go out the other day actully.

No. Unless you took the actual bulb out. Even then its hard to tell.
