Lightbulb Coupe manual bulb assignment screwup

Just wanted to correct what seems to have slipped from the Coupe Operator's Manual editors' attention.

Page 349. Rear bulb cluster picture with bulb assignment and types is 50% wrong. See the image attached for correction.

yet another correcttion...

Another correction... The bottom bulbs (#7) on the bulb clusters are fog lights only - the tail light bulbs are built into the tail light unit and [it appears that they] can not be removed without taking the lenses off.

Another observation: if you remove the passenger-side fog light bulb which is never in use as a fog light, the stop light bulb gets lit according to the bulb substitution probram. I haven't tested, but it appears that if the latter goes bad, the otherwise unused fog light bulb will in turn assume its function.

I am trying to replace all incandescent bulbs with LED-based ones, which prompted my recent investigative activity. So far I have mixed results, but shall post more when all ordered bulbs arrive and have been tested. If I am not satisfied with the pre-made ones, I will likely end up customizing them to be adequate to the task.
