This is a long shot, but it will only take you a few minutes to try it. Scrape off a little bit of the black wire going into the back of the socket. Touch the bare part to any metal on your vehicle. Then have someone step on the brake for you. If the bulb lights, then you have a poor ground to that socket.

If that's the problem, you can fix it by running a similar gauge wire from the bare spot on the black wire (solder it or wrap it with electrical tape) to any screw or bolt attached to the bumper (has to be metal to metal contact, though). If there's no available screw or bolt, drill a small hole into any sheet metal on the vehicle (hidden from view) and screw the wire to it.
