Red face rear light (right) and both brake lights are out! please help!

I am so stressed now after buying new tires and having the alternator changed in the same month so I want to save all the pennies I can on the brake lights and left rear light.

How do you fix both the brake lights and the rear light?

I would greatly appreciate any help/advice. TIA!

Have you tried changing the bulbs?

Sorry, I don't think people will be able to help you without knowing more details about your problem.

Yes, more details would help.

However, first thing is you can easily check the bulbs if they're bad.

If the bulbs are fine then it could be several things. One common problem is corroded contacts on the actual light assembly. Do a search and you'll find more info. easy.
