Help please cant figure this out!

I took my tail lights off to clean them up and polish them. Before I put them back on I checked to see if all the bulbs are good. I replaced the bad ones and found that the only light that doesn't work is the one between the reverse light and the other brake light on both tail lights. Fuse is good. Brake switch is good. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks

Does anyone know if you turn on your headlights on, do your rear turning signals (LH and RH) light up? Just for night time.

Correct.

Assuming this is a car built for the American market it will have five lights on each side from outside in:

Brake/Tail
Brake/Tail
Blinker
Reverse
Plate Ilum.
