check to see if your getting 12v to the globe when you push the brake pedal. Do you have a pedal switch or a hydrolic switch?? check that the wires are still on the switch when you changed it.

Check ya getting power with a multimeter, as Brad said. It could be wiring. More than likely the termination on either end has gone sour rather than the wire itself., so check them.

Most common problem , other than fuse, is that the terminals need cleaning. Take the globes out and run over there connecting points with some light sandpaper, see if that does the trick!
