Deuce's Brake Lights

[wiggall]

Tuesday I drove THE BEAUTIFUL BEAST home from a late CAR SHOW. I noticed that the driverside rear side marker was out. I also noticed that it appeared that my brake lights were not working! It was dark so I parked my wite pickup behind THE BEAUTIFUL BEAST, and turned the service lights, stepped on the brake, and nothing. So Wed. I had my wife get in the truck, and step on the brakes, got just a faint light> Friday I took the lenses off, and it did not look right as all the bulbs were small! Someone had replaced both stop light bulbs with the wrong bulbs! So if your brake lights do not work make sure that you have the right bulbs in them!

So, how long have you been driving it with the wrong bulbs?

I am confused did you fix the problem or are you seeking advice?

Since we picked her up in 2008 at Ft. Lewis, Wa.

She is working now! I took two bulbs out of an old trailer, and now I have BRIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS! I just posted this as a warning to other people here.

It's a great reminder/warning!

Good thing you didn't kill someone(get rear ended), because you neglected to check your brake lights for 4 years.

I check mine regularly(like once a week). All other lights(that can be checked alone) I check every time I drive.
