7443 LED Bulb not illuminating

alright so i've run into a big problem. I ordered up some 7443 LED Brake lights I installed them but they turn on when I turn on my lights but won't illuminate when i apply my brakes...does anyone have any idea as to why it won't turn on when i apply my brakes as a brake light??

Are these designed to be used as brake lights? I say this because normal brake lights run on 2 filaments.

It's either a relay or resistor issue most likely

But if they only turn on 1 way, sounds like they're single stage
