Reverse lights and inner brake running lights out
 
checked fuses, bulbs, yatta yatta, all checks out. some bulbs mismatched but they light in other sockets so I'm willing to gamble that it's not bulb related.

the outer two brake lights work on both sides, both brake lights on both sides directly below the reverse lights refuse to light. also, the reverse lights will not light. I realize the reverse lights could easily be the transmission switch, but I find it strange that the inner parts of the circuit on both sides of the car are deciding not to work.

I just recently purchased my ti so I'm not sure when or what caused this, just checking to see if anyone knows of any simple explanations. thanks!

The inners are rear fog lights, which aren't wired in our cars.
See: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthrea...ghlight=double
If you want to make them light up. There are also a few threads floating around w/ some pics/how-to instructions.

yep... very simple..
takes about 5 minutes per side.

also if you wanna solder the wires instead of screw them on just make sure to sand the metal down first

heres a close up

thank you sirs! I've got plenty to learn. seems like an easy enough mod, I know my way around a soldering iron pretty well so I'd probably take that route.

also, that'd narrow down the reverse lights to being the switch at the transmission..yet another easy fix!
