Parking lights...
(Yes, I searched first)
When my parking lights are on I get different lights illuminating from each rear corner. The left rear lights up the middle far left and the cell just to the the right of it. The right rear only lights up the far right side, not the cell just inside of it. I took apart the housings to see if it was a bulb issue and found they are all working and the exact same bulbs light up on both sides when the parking lights are on. What's the scoop? Is it the housing and is it supposed to do that? See pics. Thanks.

The W5W bulb is burnt out on the driver's side.
There is a tiny light bulb that is not in the holder with the rest. If you take out the bulb holder and then look at the spot where it was mounted you'll see another wire leading to a bulb.

Re: So how do you get that bulb outta there?!
Once you've removed the "bulb holder" (with the large round bulbs), look at the area where it had been mounted.
You should see a wire running to a very small socket... just push and twist to remove it. The bulb can then be pulled out of the socket and replaced.
*** Again... this bulb is NOT in the bulb holder. It is attached directly to the back side of the tail light housing.
