No...Burnt bulb indicator for low-beam and brake only.

Default OK. This is weird.

I haven't spent any time following my car, so I'm not sure how things should work. But I don't think any lights should go out when I press the brake. I just replaced what I thought were the brake lights on each side.

They were sylvania bulbs. Is that a problem? Lots of dark red lenses in both pictures. What should come on?

Default Are your outter lights on at all? Seems like they're out...

...or is that the picture? The only brake light I see out is one in the middle/upper brake light. When the fog light is on it'll only be on your driver's side.

Where in CO are you?

Default Re: OK. This is weird.

The outboard section should light up (dual-filament, so its on the same brightness as the running lamps, then illuminates brighter when the brakes are applied), along with the high-mount. It looks like your wiring is a bit miffed or something.

The furthest outboard lights should also be lit up, as they are corner marker/running lamps (single filament, low wattage).

Default Do you mean the turn signals should be lit all the time?

Maybe I have the wrong bulbs in the turn signals. Then only lit when signaling.

Default Got the brake lights to work correctly.

I basically removed and reinstalled every bulb. More than once I installed a bulb incorrectly. Backwards or not in the channels at all. I'm still concxerned that the turn signals should be lit when the lights are on.

Default The turn signals aren't lit all the time, only when blinking...

...it's very easy to get the bulbs in backwards, they fit, but don't make contact...I've done that before...
