guys i just changed a stop/tail lamp on my car and noticed there is two stop/tail lamp bulbs on each side but only the outer stop lamp operates, what is the purpose of the inner? should they work too? im confused
cheers

Rear Fog light ??

Check your owners manual for what bulbs are fitted.............

Nothing in the manual and its not the fog either, hoping to see another hawk and check their lights lol

Is it the parking lights or do they operate through the sidelights? Im guessing the side light and brake light is a dual fillement bulb?

When you have your lights on all 4 will illuminate and when you brake the outer ones get brighter Lights on
Lights on with brake lights on

yes thats it smithys sti,thanks for checking that mate, there is 4 side lights on, but only outer two stop lamps operate
what i dont get is the inner ones are stop and tail lights i.e duel filament but why dont they illumanate with other stop lamps? i was thinking they are possibly like the bmw lights that only operate under heavy/emergency braking, its a weird one lol...
