Neoklis is right. The rear light bulbs have 2 elements. One parking light and the other lights when braking. The 2 elements have different resistances and sizes.It is
possible to still get a brake light warning light after you've replaced a blown bulb.
This is because the bulb can be fitted accidentally so the elements end up on opposing circuits. If you've changed bulbs recently and still have the dash light
just switch the bulb around 180 degrees.This is the case for jap cars, don't know
if it applies to US models.
