Brake Light Problem

My left brake light went out so I replaced the bulbs with PIAA xtreme white bulbs 7443. However, the left brake light is still not working. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Could it be the fuse, and if so, is this covered under the warranty? Thankx.

I've had both sides go out as well and replaced both of them with OEM lights. I had this same problem on the left side too. These are double filament bulbs and I didn't snap the bulb in all the way. Once I did it worked, check your connection.

I just tried it and it is in all the way but it still doesn't work. I don't have any pictures of my car yet. I was planning on taking some pics after I got the kit installed but I haven't had a chance to put on a grill and I am thinking about changing the rear bumper to the Stillen bumper so I will take pictures of everything once I am done (hopefully within the month).
