I would double check the bulbs again, especially the dual filament ones. Do all the lights actually work?

Why the multiple threads?

Check your lights. Make sure they ALL work. Reverse lights too... and with the headlights both on and off. Then report back.

Double check your bulbs. I just had to repair (replace) 2 broken wires that operated the inner brake lights in the trunk. They were out when I bought the car last weekend and for whatever reason my indicator wasn't lit on the dash.

The bulbs were definately bad and after I replaced them they still didn't light. Checked for voltage and none but the reverse light did work. Ripped into it tonight and replaced 2 broken wires, all is good now.

Although I don't know if my indicator is working like it should. Took out a bulb to test it and still didn't light on the dash. It comes on briefly upon startup. Well as long as my brake lights work, I don't mind if the indicator is inop.
