Yes replace the bulb for one that is meant for an eye level brake light and see if that works any better ;-)

Do the other brake lights work? is so i believe there is a black wire with a joint/connector that runs behind the panel check that to make sure the connector has not come loose, if the other brake lights are not working check your fuses after that its get the multi meter out
