![]() ![]() It is activated by pulling the headlight switch out to the 2nd position (1st position is front fog lights). In reality, the rear fog light is just the high-intensity filament of the inner park light ( #10 ) bulb. Also note that #13 is listed as a rear fog light. When this happens, you will get two error messages: one tells you the brake light bulb #8 is out, the other tells you the "spare" bulb (the high-intensity element of #10 ) is being used instead. When it detects that a brake light bulb ( #8 ) is not working, it will use the high-intensity filament for the park lights ( #10 ). The rear SAM can detect when a bulb is out, and if so, it will use a different bulb to replace it. So, if the #8 is the brake, and the #10 is the park lights, why do they all need two filaments for both high and low intensity? Well, it is so they can "multitask" if needed. Park lights are lower intensity than brake lights. If you will notice, the bulbs for #8 and the two rear-facing bulbs for #10 are P21 type, which are dual-element bulbs. #10 has three bulbs, two rear-facing, on side-facing. #8 has a single bright bulb that illuminates when the brake pedal is pressed. just wanted to make sure everyone understands. top set of lights are above the reverse lights, and bottom set are below the reverse lights. the top lights are the verry top lights, and the bottom are the verry bottom lights. If the top set comes on (those are your spare) then one of your bottom one is out. So looking from the back of the car i never realized that im looking at the back-up lamps (once again back-up as in spare, not backup as in reverse) So if you have the message that your back-up tail lamps are one, look to see if when u turn the lights on the ones on the verry top come on or the ones on the bottom. LED taillights, however, usually include all required lighting, but may require standard incandescent bulbs for turn or reverse functions to work properly. The regular tail lights are on the bottom, the ones with 2 fillaments even though only one is ever used, and the back-up tail lights (back-up as in spare not back-up as in reverse) that are meant to come on when one of ur regular lights go off are on TOP. ![]() But then, when I took all the lights out I realized the problem. I look at my tail lamps and both are on, so no reason for the message to be on. So, I had the same message for a long time and today i decided enough is enough. ![]()
