Yes, it's really common to have trouble with those two outer bottom corner lights. Remove the sockets and clean everything up. Try a pencil eraser on the circuit boards of the light housing- they're fragile, so go easy. The socket tabs you can sand off any corrosion. Put two new 1157 bulbs in.

Still nothing? You could have a bad bulb-out relay. Try to pick up a used one in a junkyard for a few bucks- they're like $70 from the dealer, so you really want to find a good used one. The brake light power goes through the relay.

Good luck!
