I finally got a chance to get back to my wife's highlander today. I took Roger's advice to use a board to push the brake pedal down. Was able to tweak the bulb sockets to get both side brake lights to work. Next I repklaced both head lamps with new Napa super white bulbs that produce 30% more light than stock from Napa Auto parts as well. So saved a few bucks there! Got more parts for the truck. and got bed back on. Now saving pennies for exhaust system for x pipe cross over and Flomaster Delta 50's.

I just need to pull them again when the car gets home and I'm home to see if this is the cause, mind you it would be helpfull to have a pedal pusherer!
