Question Third Brake Light Works Occasionally

My third brake light works most of the time but my friends says sometimes it doesnt work and the other tail lights get dim when i brake. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be a bad ground, brakelight switch? Any answers will be helpfull bc the third brake light is $160 from the dealer but i know its not bad.

Alright so i messed with the brake light switch and it just so happened to work...as far as i can see, if anyone else has this problem just turn the switch counter clockwise and adjust it...if this doesnt work i would say that buying a new brake light switch would be the way to go, i wouldnt think it would be too much money maybe under $50
