Could you post this again in your native language (assuming it's french, yes?) and I can translate it? I am having a hard time understanding your english.

Since you said it only turns on when it's dark... I assume that you have your lights on auto? It's possible that one of the filaments in your brake light could be burned out since brake lights often have 2 separate filaments; 1 brighter for braking and 1 dimmer for indicators. It will only light up when it's dark because it's on auto.

C'est normale. Dans ce cas ca pourrait d'être qu'un des ampoules est fabriqué par un differente fabricant que les restes. Avez-vous changé une des ampoules récemment?

Le Lexus sont si sensibles! Moi j'ai la même problême avec mon ES, particuliérement dans l'hiver. Dans l'été j'ai la meme expérience quand tous les accessoires fonctione [AC, tous les phares, la radio] - mais pas toujours je trouve que c'est aléatoire.

Je pense que c'est mon altenateur. Quand j'ai testé l'année passé c'était bon avec ~13.4V, mais cet lumiere est allumée constamment donc je suis pas sur non plus. Aussi j'avais change la batterie donc je sais que c'est pas la problème.

**Desole pour mon réponse en français... c'était un bon occasion pour pratiquer avant mon examen la prochaine semaine.
