Thinking back on it, I think I was standing too close to the car when I checked it. I could see that the tail lights all worked by looking up and down the line of lights, and when my wife hit the brakes, I didn't notice the pattern of lights that got brighter wasn't symmetrical because I couldn't take it all in at once. There are 5 brake lights.

Following in the car, I was 100 feet back, and could more easily see. Even so, it was a subtle difference and I don't know if a cop would notice unless he was looking for a reason to pull our car over.

I switched the cars in the driveway so we'll be driving the legal car, and I'll pick up a bulb and install it on Saturday.
