Location of Brake Lights on CRV?...

[jlcopeland]

I have to change the brake lights in my 1998 Honda CRV...first time in 3 years...and I know they should be in the rear upper side panels, since that is where they light up, however, I have found 3 bulbs: top for the signal, mid for the reg. lights, and bottom for the back-up, and all of them are still good and not burned out. Where are the bulbs for the regular brake lights? The 3rd one, in the middle of the glass is the only that still works, so I know, since they one of the same fuse, that THAT is not the problem. If someone can just help me locate them, I'm sure I could have them changed in minutes. I have misplaced my owner's manual, or I'm sure they would be done, by now.
Thanks for all of your help!

Dual element bulbs or your brake light switch is bad. Or both.
