I was rear ended (more towards pass rear fender)
now all lights still work except brakes (even the middle brake light in spoiler/hatch)

I checked wires near bulb and bulbs, all ok...is there a special fuse for these?

The brake lights are powerd by the 'stop haz' fuse, a seperate circuit from the park lamps.

The fuse panel on the underside of the dash. Close to where your left knee would be. Should be a cover over it and you'll need to be a contortionist be able to actually read the fuse panel.
