1996 Chevy Lumina 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

When I apply the brake pedal the brake light in the rear window lights up but the left and right hand brake lights do not although the passenger side did light for a short time. I have checked the fuse and the replaced the bulbs. What could be causing this?
