I have a 2007 Dodge nitro and the brake lights are out replaced 4057k bulbs with 4057 and no lights but the third brake light works fine.

The brake lights run through the emergency flasher switch. Try cycling that switch a few times to see if that helps. If not, you may have to replace it then. The middle brake light bypasses that switch.
