'12 Cooper bumper brake light question

Just put in LED parking lights up front and pulsing 3rd brake light flasher for top brake light. I haven't been able to get the lower bumper brake light to come on. Is this something that is a n option that must be programmed by the dealer? The reverse lights come on fine. The center (red) brake light is good, but just doesn't come on with the other brake lights in the rear.

The 3rd brake light flasher install went smoothly. I found the yellow and brown wires in the harness behind the passenger side rear compartment cover and there was plenty of room for the small flasher module in that compartment

Thanks

'12 CR Cooper.

The bottom red lights next to the backup lights aren't brake lights. They are rear fog lights. If you have the option, there's a switch that activates them. If you don't have the option, you can purchase the parts and code the car to make them work.
