2 Brake lights out - Honda Civic Sign In

2005 Honda Civic. The single brake light up in the rear window is working fine. It's the two lower brake lights on the left and right that are not working. Both bulbs look fine. I even tested both bulbs with a 9 volt battery. They light up fine. My understanding is that there may be a blown fuse in the distribution center. But would there be a separate fuse for the two bottom 2 lights that are not on the same circuit as the top light in the window (that works)? I'm thinking that it should all be on the same circuit. But then I don't repair cars. Here's the map of the fuse box....

It appears that there are nothing but connectors separating those lights so it has to be a wiring or connection issue somewhere.

Horn works and horn is on the same circuit, so must be a wiring or connection problem. If the top window light works and it is on the same circuit then the bad wire or connection must be somewhere near the BACK of the car. Would you agree? I would expect the top window light feed wire to meet the lower rear light wires somewhere in back.

You're assuming a lot that may or may not be true but take a look.
