Re: Tail Lights

first thing i would do is check the connection point on the bottom left side under the trunk carpet, theres a little ditch under the carpet and a connection for all your rear lights.

Re: Tail Lights

Re: Tail Lights

ok... is the problem with your rear parking lights?
i dont think that they are on any other time except when you have the headlight switch pulled half way out.
check the bulbs first.

another thing to check is your taillight assembly.
if one of the bulbs is out in your taillight assembly, you may not realize it because the bulbs are dual filament. if one of the filaments is gone, the bulb will still work, but not correctly, and it will cause the other bulbs to not work right.

it is also possible that the parking lights you are having problems with are in wrong, or you are using the wrong bulbs.

you could replace the switch too, but i'd check everything else first.
it seems to me (although i'm no expert on electronics) that if the switch was bad, the front parking lights would be out as well as the rear ones.
