I had a tail light go out, so I opened the rear lamp assembly for the first time to replace the bulb.

There is a small light bulb (6W) on the outside corner of the light bar which is angled to the side of the car. I tried lots of combinations of key and light switch positions, but I never got this bulb to come on. I gave it a quick look; it appeared OK but who knows.

When is this light supposed to illuminate? I think I read somewhere its called a "side illumination bulb".
