I got my car serviced at a jiffy lube. they replaced a bulb in my rear tail light....now i can't get my bright lights to go off

if the bulb has only one point of connection then the wattage on the bulb denotes if it is a brake or tail light
either bulb will work but a stop light bulb ( 25 watts ) will be too bright for tail lights while a tail light bulb (5 watts) will be too dull for a stop light
if the bulb has 2 points of connection ( duel filament) then the pins are off set so that when the bulb is installed each filament pont line up with the correct circuit

Blown fuse ,bad headlight switch,or wiring issue.
the tail lights have there own fuse and are powered through headlight switch. Do the front running lights come on? If none of them work, switch could be bad if front work and rears dont, check bulbs and power to them when lights are on

first eliminate the possibility that you have the wrong bulb in the wrong socket. it sounds dumb but going way back to 1157 bulbs there have been two rear tail light bulbs which will fit into the same socket but are electrically different. If you have ever driven down the road following a car which had one bright and one dim tail light, or brake light, then you have seen this in action.

since you have one good tail light assembly remove the bulbs, taking great care not to mix them up and make sure the bulbs are exactly same as in the non working assembly. i mean you have to look closely at the bulb's connection points as they will look very much the same.

if the bulbs are correct then you are looking at buying a new socket, or light assembly if the whole thing is wired into the car.

replace bulb make sure the front 1 works too will cause the indicator to blink fast,it is a bad bulb not relay when you replce bulb make sure you get the corect number most have 2 filament in bulb ,if you put a 1 filament bulb it will cause all kind of weird stuff like keeping your indicator on ,or your tail lights will be too bright on 1 side ,when you replace the dual filament bulb it as to be put on only one way ,if the wrong way it will cause the tail light to be bright and signal dim,the signal should be bight and tail lights dim,ive seen alot of people make that simple mistake including alot of mechanics,make sure you get the correct bulb number

I have a 2002 JGC as well and its the driver side one with mine. I changed the bulb this last time and used bulb lube to cover all the metal. It worked for a mile then went out again but didnt burn out this time. I checked the contacts on the base and noticed there was some rust, scraped off with blade and used more bulb lube on those contacts too, working for now.

what you are seeing is the bright filament on the bulb working,
the tail light bulbs have two filaments in each bulb,one is dim and one is bright,the bright one is to the brake and turn signals,that way when you step on the brake with the tail lights on the same lens light up brighter to warn drivers behind you..
you need to check the fuses in the car for tail lights first,see if your plate light is on that will tell you the bulbs are just blown

check fuses

I had this same problem recently. The brake light could just be loose, or it could have went out and you'll need to get it replaced. If it is the fuse and not a bulb, it will run you around $45 at jiffy lube, and they install.

not sure which top tail light you mean? do you wish to replace bulb or actual lamp on the rear screen? this is the high level brake light ! OR do you wish to replace bulb in one of the rear tail lamps offside/nearside ? which ever ? the h/level brake light bulb is accessable for bulb from the rear panel on hatch behind lamp bulb is 16 watt capless push in type
