Virginia state inspector failed me today for these lights being "inoperable." I am not actually certain they are supposed to light up when I signal? All other lights on the rear bumper assembly work normally. Really I'm just trying to assess if this guy even knows what he is talking about so I can attempt to asses his other "findings" about the car or whether I just take it somewhere else. Are these even supposed to light up when I signal?

 

the side light does light with parking - the back facing is a reflector

 

Thanks, when you say "lights with parking" do you mean it is supposed to light up any time when the car is in park?

 

it illuminates with the parking lights

 

Side = parking lights 194 bulbs which commonly burn out (I use Red or Orange Sylvania LED's). Rear = 100% reflectors

 

Thanks ya'll quick easy fix with the bulb swap. Thankfully it was just both being burned out not anything more complicated.
