'79. I can't get the inner two lights on the rear to do anything. I'm not even sure if they are supposed to be on with the lights, or with the brakes (only one element in bulbs). New bulbs, I've checked fuses (would these lights have their own fuse?), wiggled lines, scratched the connection in the housing. I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated! And does anyone know where this connector is supposed to connect and what it could be for?
Those are back-up lights. Someone did a bubble-lamp conversion and may have boogered the rear lighting harness. The bulb is a #1156 single filament. Put your car in reverse and see what happens.
Wow! I'm a moron. Ha. Yep, had the wife put the car in reverse and they lit right up! Somehow i had convinced myself that converting to the bubble lenses included a reverse light delete of some sort. After all the other surprises I've found in the previous owners work, nothing would surprise me. Thank you all. Problem solved. Lol.
GM really saved a couple of pennies by only having TWO brake lights operate on 69-82 Corvettes, sacrificing the safety of all occupants. 68's have all four tail lights light up, and so do all 1984-up Corvettes!!! Lou.
