right after I fixed my dead tail light(the one at the bottom) passenger side, the break light on the same side does not work anymore, I tryed to switch bulbs, found there is nothing wrong with the bulb,
Maybe the wire? I didnot touch anything, It works fine before I change the tail light bulb,

any one saw this kind of problem before?

turned out I put the bulb in backwards. I removed it, rotated 180 degrees, and reinserted it into the holder...everything was fixed.

I haven't looked at the bulb types, but both are double-filament style (i.e, they are switchable)? Also, make sure it is installed right; dual filament bulbs only install one way. As I remember, accessing these bulb holders is not the easiest thing in the world.

If you feel bulb installation is OK, look down into the bulb socket and see if the base is OK (base contact that hits the center bulb electrical contact). Sometimes this center contact loses it's "springiness" and you don't get good contact with the bulb base. Another idea is to run a piece of sandpaper across the bulb contact.
