Obviously you have blown a fuse since the lights on ...

Don't tell me but my money's on "you did your own" trailer wiring...

well if its is the "glare", the third light gets it power from the same point as the rest of the brakes. The difference is that it has its own fuse in the interior fuse panel. I assume if you pull that fuse, the light will go off. If so, then you know that power is getting there from somewhere in the fuse block. If the light doesn't go off when you pull the fuse, you have a "hot short" somewhere along the route from the fuse block to the light. Hope the party is good... you might need more beer if the "fuse trick" doesn't work.
