should any of my tail lights have double filament bulbs?...
mine are all single right now...
also when i click on the headlight switch to the first click
nothing happen...when i turn it on all the way...most of my lights work....hazard not working either but the red light by it comes on.........confused as usual ; ) ...z
 
Zimmy ,
remove the bulbs and look into the sockets(they are clean shiny and bright, right?) if you see a double contact in the bottom then the socket is for a dual filament bulb.

first click of the switch should give you running lights and no headlights, second click should give you running + headlights.

The red light beside the switch is the charging circut fault light. this should not be on, well at least not turning on with the switch. does it go out if the car is running? and is at something over an idle?

The bottom bulbs are supposed to be dual filament 1157's . Top bulb single filament, i.e., 1156.
 
mark i was refering to the light by the hazard switch...
i think it used to flash when the hazard works...
 
oops...sorry..
