Question Passenger brake light out but works when locking car/alarm

I've tried to as many Google/Forum search variants on this as possible but no dice.

Here's the situation with my 2009 Honda Fit Sport:

-Pressing brake pedal lights up driver side bulb and top window strip light but not passenger side bulb.

However,

-Clicking unlock/lock on key fob lights *all* brake bulbs

So, bulb isn't burnt, but not sure what's going on. I did install a subwoofer a while back...wondering if there's a common doofus mistake I made with a fuse or something?

thanks for your time and any advice you can provide.

cheers!

-J

brake light is a double filament bulb. it is quite possible one of the filaments burnt out. does it up when you turn on your headlights?

Brake lights never flash with lock/unlock. The park lights flash.

Most likely just a bad bulb, which as stated is double filament (tail/brake).
