Default My rear lights warning is on, Which lights to replace?

Just a stupid question,

My rear light replacement warning came on. Just wondering if any of you guys know which light are suppose to be replaced. Brake, tail, turn, Brake on spoiler or All of them. As for now I have driving my car for about 4 days with the warning light on, currently all my lights seem to work. Any Ideas

well start by turning on ur lights
if the same lights dont light up on both sides...
replace the one that doesnt light up
but if all light up
have someone put their foot on ur brakes and stand behind ur car and look....then replace that one
it doenst mean replace them all
just the one thats out.
it just lets you know that ur riddin around ghetto for the time being until you change it
heheheheh

Take off your rear lens assemblies and clean the contacts to the bulbs. This should fix the problem, if not, check the resistance of the bulbs and replace the one with the highest resistance.

Has to be one of your brake lights. Step on the brake and check to see which one is out.
If you don't have anyone help. put a stick between the brake and the seat to simulate the brake action.

You might have a short somewhere. Check the sensor, its located behind the left trunk cover.

Last time I got an intermittent warning light ... my bulb finally died in 3 days. It was my one of the bulbs in the 3rd brake light. (Replaced both bulbs)
