    Tail/Brake Light 'Burned Out' warning

    I know the ‘87 Maxima SE I had as a kid had that light for taillights… it might have had one for headlights too… but too many decades ago now for me to remember. I think old Cadillacs used to leverage fiber runs and lights at either front tops of fenders and the rear headliner to indicate if...
