Tail light issue

That was the bulb that was missing upon removing the assembly.(this is the right passenger side) As far as I know that’s just the regular tail light bulb. Not for the brakes or fogs.

Edit: D’OH! I realized I was looking at the light assembly wrong. Just switched the bulb to the correct place. I guess because I saw an empty spot I assumed that was where it goes. Tail light now works! Thanks a lot!

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. It was sounding like it could be an electrical gremlin. Cheers!

Thanks! So I bought new brake light bulbs today and put em in and everything is resolved!

It seems the only issue was my failure to understand that there is a separate light for the brake and tail lights. My last car and probably last few cars had the the tail light incorporated with the brake light. So I assumed this was the case.
