HELP...taillight problem

I have the following problem:

When I push my brakes, the tail lamp lights like it should.
Also when I put my gear in reverse, the tail lamp lights like it should.
But when I turn my lights on nothing lights up on the taillamp.

This is only happening on my left side tail lamp. I've checked all the connections 3 or 4 times, and took everything out and put it together and still get the same problem. Also all the bulbs are in working condition since they all light up.

Anyone have any ideas? Is it a fuse problem?

I think that the bulbs have 2 filiments in them. One for regular driving and the other one lights up when you brake. One of them might be out. I dont know...I'm just guessing here. any experts?

yes the brake lights for the tail-lamps are dual filament, hence it brightens up when you brake... ALWAYS check the bulb first if anything goes wrong with lights, because usually connections dont really go bad...you made the first mistake by not checking the bulbs...
