2003 Silverado. The tail lights have an upper bulb that functions as brake (bright) and marker light (dimmer with headlights on). The middle bulb seems to do nothing. I have had my truck so long I forgot what the middle bulb is supposed to be doing. o_O Below the middle bulb, are the reverse lights, and they work fine. Anyone remember how the middle bulbs are supposed to behave? I probably need to check fuses and get out the volt meter and see if the wiring/sockets are good.

<EDIT> oh never mind... I forgot to check TURN SIGNALS... :rolleyes:

Was gonna say the same thing.

Shoot a video of what you are talking about, both sides, and post the video here.
