Iam having a problem with my back lights, at night when i put my lights on the back lights dont turn on. By breaklights work,reverse lights, but not just the normal lights in the back when i have my lights on. Could this be a fuse problem, or bulb problem. I went to shucks and they said that the lights is only powered by one fuse so it would be the bulb but my friends say other wise. just need some imput from s14 owners. thanks

You don't really need input from an S14 owner, as all cars have rear parking lamps. Ours are no different.

If the brake lamps work and the rest of the parking lamps do as well then the bulbs are bad. If all the parking lamps are out then it's a fuse.

that is not true, the voltage source from for the parking lamps is the multi function switch while the the brake lamp source is the brake switch. The bulbs are dual fillament.

Good job fuckwad, I just said that. A dual filament bulb can still burn out on only one filament, meaning the bulb is still bad. One side works, the other side doesn't. Bad bulb. No other way to look at it sparky.
