You need to replace the strpi on the back of the tail light that holds the bulbs in. Very common problem....

My 03 has had the same problem, come to find out after about a month of the dinging the brake light bulb element was broken but making contact except when I hit a bump or when the bulb got hot. Might try changing the bulbs. work for me twice.
