Default 1998 Accord LX - Rear Lights Working - Brake Lights are Not

Hey there. I wanted to know if someone can help me figure out where to start troubleshooting this issue? When my lights are off in the day I have no brake lights (And rear lights are off by default) When I turn my lights on (In the evening) My rear lights are working but again they do not brighten when I put the brakes on and the third light does not light up either. Thanks!

Zep

Just wanted to give a quick update. I replaced the brake light switch and my brake lights are working.

Something that I didn't know was that it also fixed my shift **** problem. I must have been driving without brake lights for about 6-9 months because my shift was a pain in the @#$# to move from P to any other gear for about that length of time. It turns out that if your brake light switch goes bad in this car it makes it difficult to take it out of park. Probably a safetly mechanism of some sort.

Thanks!
