    The bulb is a 'twin filament bulb' meaning it has 2 strands which emit light.

    One strand is for normal.
    One strand is for brake light. - This one has broken, so it won't illuminate.

    So you need a new bulb ;)

    No worries, unscrew the bulb and it will be printed on it ;)

    And sometimes you can see the break in the wire inside the lightbulb so you can be sure its had it!
    Dont let the lightbulb "vex" you up bruv!

    some bulbs allow you to put it in the wrong way so the main light lights up under the side light. make sure its the right way around
