Default Brake Light issue

I have a 2008 Z06 that had the rear bumper replaced with the harness for the lights. It looks like all of the Z06 all 4 tail lights are suppose to light up when pressing brake pedal, but on mine only 2 tail lights light up, the center left and center right. If I turn on the headlights all 4 tail lights come on but not when braking. Could this be a wrong harness or all of the C6 corvettes have same harness? Any help would be appreciated.

All I can offer you is the PDF file on the exterior lighting which shows the schematics, connector end views and troubleshooting of all the light functions.
I haven't dwelled into the PDF for the answer to your issue, but I'm sure it's there somewhere.
PM me your e-mail and I can send it out to you, and to anyone else that may want it. Just put Exterior Lights in the PM title so I'll know what is needed.

All four should light up when the headlights are on, and all four, and the third eye should light up when the brake is depressed.

All models of the C6.

I'd suspect someone incorrectly installed single filament bulbs in the outer tail lights. Do both lights on each side flash when you turn on the turn signal? If not, I'd check the bulbs.

And/or the bright filaments of the outer lamps are out.

Bulbs themselves are the first thing to check...first and simplest.
