Did you check your fuse?

So you're saying the brake lights are functional but they don't come on when you engage the brake pedal? Crawl underneath the dash and see if the pedal is depressing a switch. The arm for the brake pedal needs to come in contact with that switch. By engaging the brake pedal the switch is then released and closes the circuit, thus illuminating the brake lights.
