What did you do before your brake lights failed? Do your taillights light up when your headlights are on? It could be a bad brakelight switch.

Did you test the wires going to the brake lights with a multimeter yet?

Damn, I forgot to mention it to you. At the TY park meet I thought I only seen your spoiler brake light working. Good luck with the fix though =)
