1. WhyIsSkyBlue Says: Currently, I know that my friend's back light lost its power. Her stoplight and reverse light bulb seems to be working fine, but whenever she turns the headlight on, one of her back light isn't lighting up. So I was wondering if this light is the same as the stoplight or if they are completely different light. If not, what is that light called? She is kinda scared that she may be pulled over.
2. Rosalie R Says: At the back of the car there are lights that come on when you step on the brakes. These are called brakelights. There are white ones that come on when you put the car in reverse. We call these back-up lights. And then the rest are called tail lights. They come on when you turn on the headlight switch and operate only when you turn on that switch.

If one of these is out, yes - replace it. Sure, she might get a ticket, or some idiot might think your friend is a motorcycle and try to pass her.

The tail light bulb could be for that specific function, or it could work as the brake lights too. They make both. To make it even more confusing, the blinkers can work with the brake lights too. So you will need to know the make, model, and year of car. Then the guy at the auto parts store can fix you up with the right bulb.

Smile at him and he might even install it for you or her.
3. Daniel Treasure Says: at least 10 different bulbs, you need to pull the old one out and take it to the store and get the same kind
