CLK Tail Light question

2002 CLK 430. With lights on, it looks like there is a tail light that is "out." Specifically, right side light, mounted on the trunk. When I pull the light assembly off the trunk, there is no mount for a light. The left side does not appear this way. What gives?

Are you sure that you are not turning the lights all the way on too far and activating the rear fog light? There is a rear fog light on the left hand side that looks like a bright brake light. The light on the trunk are not supposed to come one besides the fog light.

You may be on to something. That would be the rear fog light, but the light switch is at 12 o'clock. Perhaps I have a problem with the switch itself.

Thoughts?

your turning your rear fog light on. After you turn the headlight *** all the wat to the right to turn on your lights you pull the knob out one "click" for front fog lights and two "clicks" for both front and rear fogs.
