What's up everyone,

I picked up my car from the body shop and noticed that my taillight indicator was on, so I backed up against a store window to see which bulb was out. It turned out to be the passenger side bottom brake light bulb. I went to the store bought some new bulbs, installed them and applied the brakes and still no brakelight on the bottom passenger side tail. The top part of my tailights(98 style) lit up when applying the brakes but the bottom didn't. So I switched the harnesses from passenger side to drivers side and installed new bulbs and now both taillights' bottom portion doesn't light up when applying the brakes.

The thrid brake light, inner tails and top portion of the main tails light up, but not the bottom part. Prior to switching harnesses the drivers side taillights' top and bottom lit up, but now the bottom is out on that side as well.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

Help is greatly appreciated

 

Does anyone have any ideas why the bottom row of my lights doesn't light up when I apply the brakes? Do they have a seperate fuse?

 

What bulbs did you buy? Suppose to have dual filament. Another reason could be its polarity sensitive...meaning turn the bulb around and try again.

Thanks for that reply. I bought the 7443 bulbs, the same as the other ones. I didn't realize that they could be polarity sensitive. I'm going outside to check on that right away.

I so hope that's it.

 

Well, I figured I'd give it a shot and turn the bulbs around, but no luck.

Is there a seperate fuse or something for the bottom row of brake lights on the 98-00 tails?

Lunch on me if someone figures this out.
