Brake Light question
OK, here's a stupid question:
There are 4 lights on the back of the 76 I have. The 2 outside lights work when the brake pedal is mashed (southern term for pressed!).. or when either turn siginal is set.
The 2 inside lights do not come on except when the car in in Reverse for the back-up lights.
Question: Should the inside lights come on when the brake pedal is pressed. If not, when.

Seems a bit of waste really. Before I take my car home, I have to convert it so that it has separate, amber indicators - as opposed to the tail/brake/indicator lights all being behind one lense. You can guess what the inside lights will become...

Actually, the inner lights have the white part for the back-up lights. It just seemed odd to me that those did not serve as brake lights too. Thanks for all the info.

If you can live without backup lights and want all four to light up in the rear, get the conversion kit.
