Inspect each bulb for a loose filament and each bulb socket for corrosion and that the bulb fits tightly against the contacts. Inspect the connectors for each of the four rear light modules. If the bulbs are blackened from age, consider replacing all the rear bulbs. Other possibilities are a bad or corroded ground wire in the trunk. Be patient and you will find the problem.

I tested one 98 LS on the lot, same problem. The guy told me he replaced all the tail light and still there is an error msg on the dash. The error shows up right after I press the brake. Maybe the 3rd brake light?

sam you are a life saver ... thank you... third brake light worked but i changed the bulbs anyway and just as you said it solved it no more annoying message reading tail lamp failure.... and to think i was going to take it to lexus to have them check... that would have been a hefty bill
