Hey guys, i realized that on my 02 S2000 something weird is going on with the tail lights.

when i turn on the lights the tail light only has the small bulb on the side go on. is the main light (big red) not supposed to light up too? when i step on the brake it lights up but i thought its supposed to be dimly lit with lights on.

both sides are affected by this. i inspected all bulbs and everything appears to be in working condition there.
maybe i am just imagining things but i sure would appreciate some insights if anyone knows.



thanks.

This may seem like a totally obvious question, but are your headlights on as well?

gregor_konstantin

Thanks for the response, yes the headlights are on.

Bulbs are like 6 dollars. Ap1 tails have 7443 bulbs i think. Start small. Replace your bulbs and go from there.

probably just the bulbs, if the filament is broken inside, it wont work

definitely will start small and start with the bulbs, it was just strange that break lights worked but no the main light.
thanks guys!

Its a dual filament bulb. One can be good while the other is toast.

gregor_konstantin

appears the previous owner put a single filament bulb in there. i just installed the 7443 and of course that took care of things.
