Tail Lights Q's On R33 Gtr! *pics Included*

[85URK]

Hey guys, I have recently purchased a R33 GTR, and in my pics, u will see when i have the headlights turned on, only the 2 outter taillights light up?

Is this normal, or has somebody tampered with the bulbs, or is there a fuse or something that is blown making these lights not light up both lights on either side?

i havent had a chance to check if there is actually bulbs in these lights yet, they might have been removed for some reason. anyhow if anybody can let me know if all 4 taillights light up on there gtr, that would be great. i know they used to on my gtst, thats what made me wonder...

Pretty sure all 4 light up on mine. It's weird though, on GT4, only the 2 outer ones come on :|

Just checked all 4 light up. Check that the bulbs used in the inner two are the same as the outer 2 as they might only be single filament ones.

Hey guys, thanks for all your replies, well i was right to be suspicious, when we pulled out the bulbs, they were twin filament type which is ok. but what the previous owner has done ( probably japanese) has taken the bulbs out and got some duct tape, cut little squares and taped up the connection on the end of the bulb that makes the taillights work. but he left the brake light one so it would work. wierd huh? anyway taillights all work now.

It would have been done during compliance, theres some ADR law that says somthing about tail lights and brake lights have to be seperate or somthing along those lines...my car had the wires cut

I know its been ages since this post, but could you please help me how you fixed it? I have the same problem only with one light blown, but it comes on when i press on the brakes... Yes, I am a noob at this sorta things...

At a guess, one of the filaments has blown. Just go and buy another dual filament bulb and replace it and it should work fine.
