The other day, my wife was driving behind me and she called me on my phone and said that my left tail wasn't working. She said that when I braked, the right side as well the third light on top (inside the car) came on but the left side didn't. I turned on the headlights and she said it came on but when the brake was applied, it did not light up like it's suppose to. I took the lights out, no wires were disconnected. I took the right lamp, plugged into the left side harness and when the brake was applied, it worked. I tried the left one again and it still didn't work. I tried plugging it into the right side and it still didn't work. So I know its not the car's wiring. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? Once again, the left tail, outside light, comes on when the headlights are on but does not get "bright" when the brake is applied. Thanks in advance. Maybe its time to get some MR's again...

possibly the bulb is out. i think they are 2-filament bulbs so one could be busted.

picked up a bulb at puente hills mitsu tonight.* light works now.* thanks for the help.* i would have never thought to switch the bulb because it worked, just not the second filament that lights up when braking.* Mahalo Nui Loa!!
