> Why would both brake lights not work when they were, up until recently?

The 2 switches are wired in parallel, so teh system will work as long as
at least one switch is still good. The result is that everything will
appear to be fine until the SECOND switch fails.

The reality of all this is that the quality of modern replacement switches
is really poor. They don't last long. It is most likely that both of yours
have failed.

I have Meyle and another brand in stock for reasonable prices, but I don't
yet know if their quality is any better than what you bought before.

Check out your switches and let us know where the problem was.
