there's 2 globes in that one, odd if they both blow at the same time

You dont have a spoiler with a light on it do U? because on mine I took of the spoiler then plugged that plug into the brake light in the window that wasn't working b4.

Similar to my experience, I removed my spoiler and unplugged it, but only when I removed the wire which intercepts the power to the window light did the window light suddenly work....

it should be only one bulb if it's the inside rear resting against the rear windscreen. But yeah if you have a spoiler then they usually d/c the rear windscreen plug as 3 brake lights fulfill the legal road requirements.

ahhh can't remember been a while since I last touched an integra.
still confused though as to why it has 2 bulbs instead of just the one, usually brake lights are one bulb with dual function (light on and brake light). And from memory the rear mounted shouldn't turn on with the headlights/parkers.
Someone give me an answer~!~!@~!@ this is gonna eat at me till I find out.
could it be 2 compartments?

Just to clear it up lol, the window centre brake light housing has 2 "single filament" globes as oppposed to the 1 twin filament globe in each left & right tail light. Make sense?

The filament is in the bulb so it'll either be bulb, fuse or wiring.

There's 2 or 3 of those clips where you push the centre carefully and pull from the outer rim.

Yep, both of mine blew at the same time for some reason.

It's basic to remove the housing. you can do it with your car key.

Poke at the centre... press in the little 'button' on the clip. Then pull the whole housing down. Done and Done. Putting it together is easy too.
