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.
