Is the brake light and tail light the same bulb?
Note to other newbie DIY’ers: the same bulb controls both the tail light AND the brake light. It has 2 filaments, and one or the other may be burned out.
Is the brake light the same as the running light?
– Brake Bulb filament #1 and “Running Light” are on on each side. – When brake pedal is pressed, all 3 brake lights are on, with the R and L brake lights using filament #2. Is this true? I just verified it myself.
Is there special trailer tail light bulb for turn?
That type of wiring is fairly complex and is primarily found on German vehicles (Volkswagens in particular) but not all. But even on trailer stop, tail, and turn signal lights the functions are all on one bulb, sometimes 2 depending on the light. But there are still 2 separate wires; one for turn and brake, and one for running lights.
Is the brake light controlled by one filament?
When the brake light is on, which filament (s) is on, 1 or both filaments…this part I don’t know until someone does an experiment. All 3 brake bulbs run on separate circuits, if one bulb is burned, the other 2 bulbs will be fine, i.e., not controlled by the failed bulb. One question: why Honda uses bulb 7443 with 2 filaments as you mentioned?
