The tail lights have the main running lights; park, stop & turn signals.
The rear tail light section contains a total of 4 lights within the red portion (on each side).
There’s 2 small bulbs, and 2 big bulbs.
THIS post is all about the small bulbs.
These are the center running lights & side corner marker running lights.
(post #7 showed you the big lights)
The small bulbs, on the very outside and the center, stay constantly lit when the regular lights are on.
The factory light was a white bulb, behind the red lens.
