strange tail light mod. anyone know? pics
this is a c5 that was bought form a insurance auction. none of the rear tail lights work what so ever, and two of them have this strange mod. they drilled a hole in the tail light then wired in some different bulb. anyone know what kind of bulb/mod this is?

SOMEWHERE!
You also have a strobe module SOMEWHERE. Dont use them on public streets or highways. That gets police officer attention REALLY QUICK!

Cycle the emergency flasher a dozen or so times and if that doesn't work, the steering column multifunction switch is most likely bad.

The reverse switch on the transmission (passengers side MN6/12) is bad. Very common issue and easy to fix. About $12. as I remember.
