It’s important to be in tune with your tail light bulb replacement options and how the type of shop will affect the pricing they offer to you. Dealerships will always be the most expensive option for tail light bulb replacements.

TAIL LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT FAQs

Still have questions about tail light bulb replacements? We're here to help.

What is a tail light?

Tail lights are found at the back of your vehicle. They illuminate when your headlights are on and shine brighter when you're stepping on the brake. When driving at night, they are signs to other drivers that you’re on the road. While tail lights are red in color, they usually have white lights beside them to indicate that a vehicle is in reverse.

How do I know when my tail light bulb needs to be replaced?

Here are some signs of failing tail light bulbs:


1. Notice when your headlight is on and the tail light is off.

2. When pressing the brakes and tail light turns off.


If you notice any of these signs make sure to replace your tail light bulb with a professional mechanic.

As part of the safety feature of your vehicle and for the safety of others on the road, you shouldn't be driving with burnt-out or broken tail light bulbs; however, in some cases, we might not notice them as they may fail while we're driving, when this happens it would be difficult to notice as they are mounted at the back of your car.
