Default Extra brake light trouble

I'm doing the extra brake light mod right now and I have seem to hit a small snag. I have made the connection for the extra brake light but now when the brakes are applied only the two large bulbs on the bottom of the taillight assembly light up. Which means the smaller bulb in between the two does not light. I turned the headlights on and the small bulb will light up. Is this how it is supposed to be? No headlights two bulbs. Headlights, three bulbs.

Pics momentarily to better explain.

I think that's normal, the small bulb is just a single filament for the parking lights.
