On my 2003 BMW 530i, my "check brake light" came on, and sure enough, my right brake light wasn't working. I went to AutoZone to get a replacement bulb and swapped it out, but it still isn't working. There is no sign of corrosion in the bulb holder. What next?

Sorry, I got knocked offline. Replace the dark and silvered bulbs and the third brake light, let us know what you find.
