I'd start by replacing everything back to stock, no LED replacements etc. Then check for voltage at any bulb socket that lights are out. Idealy you need a circit diagram but you would need to work back to where the live is still working. Sounds like your issues started with the brake lights. Even if you go back to having the rears not working with the dash warning (guessing the front worked then?), this would be my starting place.

I've just reminded myself by looking up the gen 1 rear lights, the bulbs are the older type - these can be put in incorrecly, there is an wright and wrong way that can cause issues like you described. Rotate the bulb 180 degrees, one filament draws 21w the other much lower at 4w - not saying this is the cause but it's made only one light work when I had it the wrong way, gl

Check you didn't bend the pins in the housing plug
