Default Quick ? for the 2Gen GS Guru's

Okay Mr.Mod I dont know if this belongs here or not if not please feel free to move it thanks. Now my car just came out of the bodyshop for repairs from when I hit a deer. They pretty much replace my whole front end from the hood to the lights which are oem hid's the bumper, grill etc etc. Anyways here is my question for you. Now that all the work has been done I have a rear light indicator lit up on my dash when I turn on my head lights. Could somebody please tell me what is causing this light lindictor to remain lit? Because it wasn't there before I put my car in the shop and I just dont have a clue to what is causing this. I check all of my lights in the rear to see if any of the bulbs where blown or even loose by removing them and and none of them were blown or loose And when I say that I check all that means checking all starting with brake light bulbs of course on the inside of the car as well as the outside of the car, reverse lights bulbs left and right my turn signals bulbs left and right even my 4 way flashers bulbs left and right, my trunk light bulb and also the plate light bulbs. Please if you have the answer to my ? please feel free Reply thank you listening

Even if the bulbs light up, they might not be the correct bulbs. There is a specific resistance the car is looking for. If the resistance is off the light will come on.

Just to help narrow your search, the bulb checker only checks the tail lights and brake lights. I have seen a "faulty Bulb" turn on the light but none be out. Hope this helps.

I believe 1 or 2 bulbs in my third brake light is out, it doesn't have to be the whole strip. Luckily the spoiler is covering the 3rd brake light
