Brake Light Issue

I replaced my bulbs yesterday in an attempt to fix my current issue. My brake lights "try" to light up sometimes when i press the brake. They lightly flicker once in a while, but they definitely aren't working. Now, when i turn on my fogs, the left brake light lights up and stays lit until i turn the fogs back on. I recently had work done on the rear end (random act of chance a woman jumped on my car and dented a few pieces in the rear). One of the brake lights was missing, i assume from the repair, it definitely was working before.

The questions are does anyone have pics of the relay and brake switch (under the pedal)? Also is it worth taking back to the repair place and saying hey fix this?

Any other thoughts? i've read of a few brake light/electrical gremlin issues and i'm just trying to eliminate the issues and stop driving around without brake lights.

Thanks!
John

FYI it was the brake light switch by the pedal. It was a bastard to get see but once i found it the whole process took all of 3 minutes. Brake lights are back.
