Expert Reply:
Well the part # HM48915 that you referenced is not designed to provide a separate brake light out from the rest of the wiring so if the separate brake lights you mentioned are not activating it's because of that.
What you would need is to install the part # RM-732 on the trailer side of your wiring and the red wire would be what you would need to run your separate brake light to.
