I've run across this many times over the years with different cars and it's usually just one bad bulb. Invest in a few new bulbs and change them one at a time (front and rear) until the problem is fixed.

it either the relay not working work u mint have the wrong light i know ppl change light in there car they buy the wrong ones did u change ur brake light??

i had this problem on my Toyota. it was down to an earthing problem, the bulb holder was tarnished (rust like) on one of the metal contacts. We cleaned the contact and bent it slightly to make sure it did make contact and so far it has cured the problem.
