I would look for wiring issues. For starters check the ground at the tail light bulb sockets. Also check to see if there is power at the various sockets. If there is no power at the sockets check the body feed wire from the battery to see if there is power there.

Also check to see if the main harness to the tail lights has become severed at some point.

Hope that may help.

Anyone else have any other thoughts?

Your brake lights on your 2002 Acura RSX arent working but your tail lights are?

The brake lights and tail lights are separate wiring systems. Even some of the bulbs may have two separate bulbs in the same glass housing. If the bulbs are in fact working, then the next step would be to test the brake switch under the dash. When you depress the brake pedal the switch is pushed creating a connection to turn on the brake lights.
