The 'bulb' in the back window is actually a row of LED's (Light Emitting Diodes). You first need to assess whether power is reaching the unit by using something like a multimeter or a 12volt bulb with two flying wires and attaching the multimeter probes / wires from 12 volt bulb to the power source that feeds the LED unit.

Just taken a quick look at a Zafira rear brake light, there appear to be 16 LEDs in there, so it's unlikely they would all go pop at once; as DD states check the incoming 12V first.
