None of my running or brake lights were working so i checked it out and the far bottom left bulb was blown. I replaced the bulb with a new 2057 bulb and now on that bulb both filaments light up without hitting the brakes, the rest of the bulbs are dim. Then when i hit the brakes the replaced bulb gets brighter and all of the other bulbs turn off. Whats up?

i dont remember our g2’s using any type of 2057 bulbs. for the rear running/brake lights, the bulb should be 1157 dual filament type. the signals are single filament 1156. make sure you’re using the right type of bulb. also check your fuses.

just to clarify a bit more, the 90-91 rear turn signal’s are a 1175 dual filament bulb where as the 92-93 rear turn signal is a 1156 single filament bulb.
