replace the burnt out bulb
There are two screws attaching the assembly. The first is at the top just inside the corner edge of the hood area. The other one is located between the gap of the parking lamp and the turn signal. Use a screwdriver with a slender shaft.
As in all electronics heat is the culprit..if a lamp is mounted (let us say at a ceiling in a warehouse the temperature at the ceiling area is always more than the ground level) and this becomes a cause for ballast failures. Voltage spikes and dips are also a reason for ballast failures. The ballast specifications should match with the lamp (undersizing it will also cause failures) eg. using a 32 watt ballst for a 40 watt lamp. Cheers. Chaterpilar
Something you may not realise is that the brake light bulb is often one bulb with two elements. One of the elements will be for the brake and the other will be for the tail lighting for example so,when tested, the actual bulb will still light up because the second element is unaffected. Make sure that the 'blown' bulb that you are actually changing is not in fact your fog lamp. This will not automatically light up when you test your lights as you have to operate this light separately (similarly to indicator lights). So the fog lamp bulb will appear to be the only one not lit up when you test your lights. Find the bulb with two elements inside and change that one. Sounds obvious (and may be obvious to many) but it's a common mistake. Hope this helps!.
The leg lamp came from the movie "A Christmas Story".
Answer...maybe Hey man, I don't know if they'd be the same after all this time, but my taillights in my 1988 Jeep Cherokee use 2057s, take out one of your working bulbs, and check the number written on the metal part. Or just bring the bulb to your local parts store, that's the easiest. The above answer contains some good advice on identifing auto lamp bulbs but is incorrect as to Brake Light Bulbs used in 1998. According to the 1989 Jeep Factory Service Manual (Electrical), All models of Jeeps of that year, (except, the Wrangler and the Grand Wagoneer), specified (2) Rear Stop/Tail Lamps Type 2057. The Front Park/Turn Lamps used (2) Type 2057NA, (Natural Amber), and the Rear Turn Signal Lamps used (2) Type 1156. The Wrangler used the same (2) Type 2057NA Front Park/Turn Signal Lamps, but instead used (2) combined Rear Stop/Tail/Turn Lamps Type 1157. The Grand Wagoneer used (4) Type 1157 for both Front and Rear Stop/Turn/Park Lamps and also used (2) additional rear Tail Lamps Type 1156. The Type 1156 Lamp has a single lighting element and was also used in the (2) Backup Lights of all models of that tear. (All other Lamps mentioned above are of the Duel Element type). After realizing that the year in question was 1998, not 1989 I did did an online search and found the answer to the actual question is a Type 3157.

Remove the negative battery terminal (-) for about 15 minutes and most codes will reset.
There is no reset for taillamp failure relay. If there is a fault the message will continue to be displayed www.lextechautomotivellc.com
brake lamp switch failure
it means a brake-lamp bulb has burned out
The brake light failure sensor on a 1997 Acura 2.2 cl is located on the rear of the car. It is on the back of the left rear lamp assembly.
If it is not a low fluid condition then you will need to pressure bleed it.
Which brake lamp are you needing to change? Brake/turn signal lamp.
Code C1287: Brake Lamp Inhibit relay circuit failure. Problem with the warning lamp circuit, or the antilock control unit/module it monitors.
the 1989 Honda accord lxi has a brake lamp light on the dashboard, if the brake lamp light is on, this means you have a brake/tail light out or disconnected
If it still doesn't burn, check the ground of the light assy.
Unplug the baterry, press brake for 20sec, done :)
The brake light failure sensor is located at the back of the left rear lamp assembly behind the trunk liner. It is a square circuit board about 2" x 2" connected by a wire pigtail to the main left rear brake and running lights.
