Default Brake Light Problem

Just got pulled over on way to work tonight for no brake lights, Cop was real nice and just gave me a warning .

So my problem is my 4 round brake lights are out, but the 5th brake LED light works fine. I have the Halo LED taillights. Does anybody know if the round ones are on a different circuit from the 5th LED one? Sure hope they are so it might just be a fuse. Regular tail lights work fine. Can't do anything with it because stuck at work for next 8 hours and it's eating at me.

Damn, I was hoping it might've been fuse #8. So sounds like his problem turned out to be the flasher switch? Will have to check my hazards when I get off tonight. I do have that hyper-flash harness that I thought bypassed the stock flasher. Oh, more info on mine; it's an MN6 and never had the euro tail lights.

I can't imagine what else I could say, that is not included in the link I provided. All you have to do is read it, use your meter, and isolate the issue.
