Question Tail Light Failure Error on Dashboard

I have been getting this warning on my dash whenever the low-beams are turned on. This started when I was getting some body work done on my rear bumper, and the shop technicians I was told, replaced the right side tail light/stop light because it went out. All the bulbs are working visually. Looking to see if anyone here knows how to resolve this!

Compare the replaced bulb with the same bulb on the other side. I suspect they used the wrong light bulb and that is triggering the warning. Take it back to the body shop and make them fix it.

I already spoke to the body shop, and pushed on them a few times, but their words were that the bulb change was done as a "courtesy" lmao. So there is that. But I will check the other side to compare. Thanks for that!

Those are all good! I have a feeling it's the bulb that the shop used is triggering the problem
