What is the Tail Lamp Bulb all about?

The rear light bulbs light up when the headlights are on. This allows the drivers behind you to see your car. It is common for the bulb socket to melt, causing the bulbs not to work.

Keep in mind:

  • When a tail lamp bulb is replaced, all of the vehicle’s light bulbs should be checked.
  • After a tail lamp bulb is replaced, it should always be checked to see if it works, in case the problem lies with the switch or fuse.

How it's done:

  • Inspect bulbs, sockets, wires, and fuses.
  • Remove and replace the bulb if it is blown.
  • Repair or replace any damaged bulb holder(s)
  • Check operation of all running and headlamps.

Our recommendation:

A mechanic should check all the lights in your car every time you get a major service.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Tail Lamp Bulb?

  • Rear lights not working.

How important is this service?

Tail lamps exist so that vehicles behind you can see your car. When you turn on your headlights, your tail lamps (light bulbs at the rear of your vehicle) illuminate. This keeps your car well lit, and helps vehicles behind you see your car. When your tail lamp bulbs stop working, your car will be less visible from behind, which is a safety hazard. Driving without ignited tail lamps is also illegal, and the fix-it ticket can carry a hefty price tag.

Volkswagen Golf L4-2.0L - Door Lock Actuator Replacement (Passenger Side Front) - San Francisco, California
My regular shop mechanic refused to fix my door actuator (because it's a pain to tear down the door and put it all back together again), so I hired Grezegorz. The door works great, my locks operate again, and the car was clean and in good working order. I'm confident in his skill. I would hire him again. Very happy.

Volkswagen Golf L4-2.0L - Brake System Flush - San Leandro, California
Steve arrived at my drive-way on time and he is very nice and friendly. He explained to me how he would do the brake fluid flush on my VW Golf. He bled out all the old brake fluid and air from each of the brake lines on each wheel one by one as he said he would and filled the main reservoir with fresh O'Reilly DOT 3 brake fluid from a new bottle. Steve did the job quickly and checked my car here and there for routine visual inspection and let me know everything was fine. However, the next day I was checking the level of the brake fluid to see if it is still at the right level for curiosity, just to make sure there is no leak or anything and I realized that the main brake fluid reservoir specifically stated " must use DOT 4 brake fluid". Went online and check to see if there is any adversary effect on my brake system in my VW if DOT 3 is used. Most said yes and some said no. The main difference between DOT 3 and DOT 4 is the boiling point. DOT 3 has a lower dry and wet boiling points than DOT 4 and it is cheaper, meaning lower quality in general. I am happy with Steve's service, but not happy with the part he put in my car. I wanted to maintain the good health of the ABS braking system by doing a brake fluid flush, but now it is more like the opposite since I paid someone to put the wrong brake fluid in the system now.
