Tail light problem

i installed 02 tails last week and noticed that the right bulb on the passanger side of the tail light is out... the wierd thing is that its out when the parking/headlights are on but when u apply the brake it lights up.. i changed the bulb and im still having the problem.. whats up with my light??

The bulbs have 2 filaments, one for normal tail light operation, and one for braking. You probably blew one of the filaments. Since you just swapped lights, you may want to check the socket to see if it works. Swap the bulb to another socket that is definitely working to see if it is still doesnt light up. If thats it, just get a new bulb.

I've had a similar problem and I found that I didn't push the light into the socket all the way. Mine had a click when they were installed correctly.
