the right side light that i have circled in the below pic on my car does not light up. the left is fine, but the right just doesn't work. i have tried new bulbs, the bulb from the other side, etc. no luck and NO FAULT CODES. can anyone advise me as to which light this is and why it doesn't work? is this a usual problem? would it help if i just purchased a new light cluster thing for the back?

thanks

If this is the rear fog light ( Fog lights are turned on with the headlight switch) then only the left side will light up. This is some european thing.

Yup, that's a common question at the dealer. I guess they don't have two rear fogs on otherwise it will look like you are slowing down. Sometimes cops even pull people over because they thing a rear tail light is out. I just don't turn on my rear fogs.

thats the rear fog light. the right lights up when right parking lap is on

The rear fog lights a strictly a safety feature. Like others said, if it lit up both sides, others behind you might think you're although some cars do light up both sides.

IMO, driving with rear fogs sans adverse weather is gay
