Sounds like the cop was fishing for DWIs?
It could be a 21W bulb? Whatever that is.

During the time I've owned this car I've never really paid attention to that light , ok maybe it is a safety feature. but the previous owner like I said took out the bulbs and left the harness there just hanging which seems odd.

Every car I own, or borrow for an extended period of time, gets a brake lighting upgrade.

Get the 7440 LL Long Life. Extra few cents but lasts longer.
