Trunk/Brake Light Message

Instrument cluster shows " right tail brake light out"

I checked both top and bottom tail lights on, both sets of brake lights work, and so does center break light.

Am i missing something?
Does rear foglight have its own bulb?

i have P1 non LED

thanks

No, it does not have it's own bulb. Anyway, that's on the left side.

Have in mine they are double filament bulbs, if you think the bulbs are good just swap the left ones to right and see what happens.
