Why do the tail lights of my 1999 Passat only function when my high beam head lights are on?
It is possible that the problem you are experiencing with your 1999 Volkswagen Passat is caused by a fault in the vehicle's headlight switch. The headlight switch controls the operation of the tail lights, as well as the head lights, and a malfunction in the switch can cause the tail lights to only function when the high beams are on. It is also possible that the issue could be caused by a problem with the wiring in the vehicle, such as a loose connection or a short circuit. I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the problem, as it could be a safety issue if your tail lights are not functioning properly. The mechanic will be able to determine the cause of the problem and repair it for you.
Why no tail lights on your 98 Volvo s70?

Try having someone observe the tail lights while you push on the headlight switch. If the tail lights begin to work, replace the headlight switch.

If the back tail lights on your Honda Del Sol stay on, it could be due to a malfunctioning switch, such as a stuck brake light switch or a faulty headlight switch.

If troubleshooting doesn't resolve the issue, consulting a mechanic or an auto electrician may be necessary.
Why are the lights off in the dash of a 1977 f 150?
First, check the tail lights. Turn on the headlights and see if the tail lights come on at the same time. If the tail lights come on but the dash lights don't, it's probably either the switch or the bulbs. If NEITHER come on, it could be the switch, the fuse and of course, still the bulbs.

No, tail lights and brake lights are not the same thing. Tail lights are the red lights at the rear of a vehicle that are always illuminated when the headlights are on, serving to indicate the vehicle's presence and size. Brake lights, on the other hand, are activated when the driver presses the brake pedal, signaling to other drivers that the vehicle is slowing down or stopping. While they are both crucial for vehicle safety, they serve different purposes.
