Regular brake lights not working?
 
I pulled out my taillights the other day to do some tinting on them (that I think came out really well, been getting a few compliments on them) and last night I noticed that my big brake lights in the housing aren't lighting up. I took the trunk lining apart so I could get to the bulbs. I took the bulbs out and one filament is in a tightly wound straight line like it's supposed to be but the other has a sort of odd curve in it but it's not disconnected from the two towers, just oddly bent. The other bulb is the same way but with a different looking curve in it. I took the bulbs out then put them back in to make sure they were grounded tightly, I did the same with the wiring connector that they sit in (unplugged it then replugged it.) Are the filaments just busted? The bulb is clear and doesn't look burned out or anything and the filament isn't broken either. If it is busted then I've never seen a bulb break like this... Thanks for the help guys!
