Old fart with a wrench
Welcome to CF!
A little more info would be helpful, but you probably have the common problem of melted plastic in the bulb holders. The contacts sink into the plastic and loose connection with the bulb. You can try prying them out a little or replacing them. If you sit in traffic with your foot on the brake a lot, heat builds up from the brake lights and melts the plastic. Perfect engineering issue. You can fix the brake/tail lights by swapping the reverse bulb holders for them, but then might have problems with the reverse lights not working. All the bulbs are the same and the holders are the same. The functional difference is in the wiring of the housings.
