I'd like to help, but I'm not sure I fully understand what you're saying.

 

All of your brake lights illuminate normally when your lights are on

 

When you hit the brakes, only 2 of the 3 lights get brighter.

 

I'm pretty sure our brake light bulbs have 2 filaments inside, one which causes the lights to light up normally, and the 2nd filament kicks in when you hit the brakes to make the lights brighter.

 

You can try replacing the left brake light bulb, it sounds like one of the two filaments might be broken.

 

The bulb part number is 7443, but 7443LL works too, LL signifies long life, which are preferable in my opinion.

 

*Just to confirm, they are dual filament bulbs
