I had my left brake light go out recently. No big deal, I went to the store and got some new ones, put them in, both worked fine. I did replace both lights, I always do that when one goes out.

Well, backing into my garage tonight, I noticed a problem. The right light is always on like the brakes are on, but the left light works like it should, tail light until the brakes are pressed, then it gets bright.

So what is the problem here? It is really annoying, does anyone know how to fix it? I'll check it out more, any help is appreciated.

 

Wrong bulb or not seated all the way.

Need #7528

 

Could be a bad bulb where one filiment broke and fell against the other... endless possiblilites. I would try new bulbs again first b4 anything further.

Thanks guys, I must have put one in bad. I took them out and reset them to no avail, but when I switched the bulbs it started working like it should. So whatever it was, it's fixed now. Thank you!

When I put them in the guy at the store checked to make sure they were working. Now that I think about it, he barely even looked. He was actually busy looking at the rest of the car. He loved the thing.

 

I don't know how to change the light bulb. Is it easy? Can one of you tell me how to do it?
