2008 Kia Rio5 Question: no brake lights or High Brake light Fuses ok

Sounds like a probable faulty brake light switch. Check at the brake pedal for the switch and the wiring connector that plugs into it.

As Dave said likely to be a bad brake light switch, check your fuses, you will find relevant information in your owner's manual.
