Default 3rd Brake Light Problems please help!!!

Ok guys as far as I know two days ago this thing was working fine. However, yesterday I took off the lens part to replace it with a lens from my buddies TA that was in perfect shape because my lens had two chips in the plastic. So after driving back from TN to AR my girlfriend calls me when we get there and says that only one of the lights is working in my 3rd brake light lens. So I take the lens off and try to test it and BOTH of them have stopped working. Did they just coincidentally burn out? It was about 30 degrees last night when I took it apart and there was a thin film of ice on the car.

Anyone else have this problem? I tried to search but couldn't come up with anything relevant. My first thing is that maybe a bulb or fuse burned out. I changed my DS blinker bulb out last week, but this one doesn't seem to pop out the same way.

Just pull the bulbs out, and swap in some new one. They're 194 bulbs, only about $3 or $4 from an auto parts store. If that doesn't fix it, then I would say you have some wiring issues.

Yep, they just pull right out. Sort of like a USB port.
