Left brake (tail) light does not light up
I have a 1998 honda civic. My left brake (tail) does not light up when I hold down on the brakes. Tail lights on a 98 civic are divided into 2 units, one on the car main body and the other on the trunk, like this.
Now, left tail light (the one thats on the car) does not come on when I hold the brake, but it flashes when I lock the car (using the keyless entry system). The one thats on the trunk works perfectly.
Do you know whats causing the problem?

x2. Beat me to it. But yes, this is correct. Probably just needs a new bulb.

Re: Left brake (.Red.EM2)
Kewl thanks. I will try to replace the bulb today.
Do I need to pull out the whole tail light assembly to replace the bulb, or can I do it with it attached to the car?
