Brake light has serious issues

[Xise]

so my initial problem here was a brake light on the driver side not coming on. So I open up the panel with the bulbs on it and I spot one with a burned filament and replace it. Still nothing but now at least I have the other side of the tail light working for night time...but now when I hit the brakes the tail lights go off!?!?! :picardfp:

Not sure what is going on here, ground issue possibly?? Anyone ever have this happen to them?

you have access to a multimeter??? if so check if there is power on the bulb plug..

there is, I already figured it out, someone got the wrong bulbs originally.

S13 have the light problem where some bulbs wont come on, i found out the the ground wires are screwed into the bulb holder panel, just take a phillips head screwdriver and tighten them up, they always come loose
