    Question.

    Just recently my vehicle's driver side tail light is not working. However, when I press the brake pedal the driver side brake light DOES work.

    This isn't a bulb issue right since the same bulb is the tail light and brake light?

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Exactly this - there are two filaments within the one bulb, if one burns out, the other will probably still work - replace the bulb FIRST.
