Default Brake lights not working

I have a 2008 Subaru Impreza Anesis which I just purchased 2nd hand.

The brake light located on the spoiler works, but the 2 other main brake lights don't. Fuse has been checked, and didn't think it would be the bulbs since both are out.

Any ideas???

Bulbs are same age, same usage. First thing to check.

Next look at connectors to the rear lights, on the bulbholders, and after that, the wiring.

As above, whichever model you have (4 door; 5 door or diesel) the spoiler brake light taps into the feed for the main brake lights.
