Default 2005 Lexus Ls430 Tail Lamp Problem

My driver side brake lights don't work but my turn signal light still works. I removed the tail lamp assembly but the only light I see that I can change is the turn signal. So top and bottom brake lights don't work!Is there a way for me to change the bulbs or is there another issue? I am having the same problem on the trunk lid lamp on the drive side. Top red light works but bottom red don't plz help!!!

Here is some pics I found on the web to show what I'm dealing with.

Yeah. My trunk lid assy seems to be giving me trouble. For about 2 weeks the bottom half of it was very dim. Then out of nowhere this week it seems to be working again. SMH. But i know its a matter of time before it goes completely.

Glad my 2002 taillamps are easy to replace bulbs. I only had to replace one taillamp bulb in my 4.5 years of ownership, and the bulb was $1.58CAD after tax, from the dealership.

This looks like one of the challenges a member of this forum would love to get hold of. Bet answer will surface. Very few of these things does somebody let Lexus win.
