replace light bulbs and or check the fuse that controls them.

Not knowing the history - did you get the car like this, did it happen after
it was worked on, or did it happen out of the blue - I'd hazard a guess
either the wrong bulbs are in the taillights (single filament instead of
dual filament) or the ground on the taillight sockets is bad.

Yeah, but bonus points for spelling "brake" correctly!

Yeah, spell it right.

It's the "break petal".

As in "putt the petal to the medal." Now I forgot what was wrong with the
break lites in the first place.

If all the brake lights are out, I would suspect the switch at the brake
pedal.
