If you haven't got it figured out...
Could be a few problems... First and formost, make sure you have the correct bulb. Check the socket, and connection to make sure the contacts are intact. IE. corroded/burnt terminals.
Easiest way to do it, is check power at the bulb socket/connector with a multimeter. If you don't have one, go buy a 5 dollar one at Napa, it's a must have tool.
If you have power, and the circuit is grounded properly; you'll have your answer.
I don't know **** about Luminas. Is the 3rd brake light in front of the rear window, or in/on the trunk?
