It sounds like you have sequential lights. The correct sequence is (1) inside (2) center (3) outside. About three weeks ago I was behind the wife in her 07GT/CS with sequential lights and noticed both outside brake and turn signal lights were out. It turned out both outside bulbs were burned out. I replaced hers with Sylvania 4057 LL from Wally World. I would check the bulbs first.
NOTE...Both bulbs looked good, but checked bad with a voltmeter.

Woo, free sequential upgrade!

So something came up at work the other day.
A guy there has a 07 gt500 with 12,000 miles, bone stock. He "claims" that a dent about the size of my fist up by the rear window was made from launching the car hard at a drag strip. Now I know this is possible, but doesn't that take a lot more power than the stock car makes, plus full drag slicks? I'm assuming to do this you have to have enough power to pull a wheelie, so 700+ on a street weight car. Kinda sounds like BS to me.

Sounds like you're right. I just pulled one side to check, but I can see through and neither outside bulb looks bad, filaments are still in one piece, but I moved them around and the same bulb stayed out when flashing. I'll grab some new ones in a little bit. Thanks.
