If you don't have an aftermarket sequential taillamp kit installed, only the outer two of the three are supposed to illuminate when braking or signaling.

All 3 light up if you turn on the parking lamps, and the same outer 2 light up brighter than that when you brake or signal for nighttime.

Nothing's wrong from what I can tell. =]

If you want all 3 to light up, you can have it wired, or if you want all 3 of them to light up in order 1 2 3, buy a sequential kit.

Your tail lights use dual filament bulbs, one filament which is your less bright one is still working so it lights up when you have your lights on but the brighter filament is burnt out so you get no light when you use your turn signal or brakes.

Replacing the light bulbs are a piece of cake, if you need the bulb number or any help removing your tail light just post here
