Default Help with brake lights

Ok, so I never noticed this before but evidently my tail lights must be going out. Any info on what I need to do to fix this? Do I just buy tail light bulbs and swap them (I'm dumb right)? The left blinker blinks faster too by the way and only the middle light on that side blinks with the blinker on. With the brakes pressed only 3 of the six lights come on. Help please

Brake pedal pressed


Left blinker on


Right blinker on

You need to replace the burnt out bulbs.

If you are in the States any Auto parts store should have them.
If you want you can get L E D replacement bulbs from online retailers and they last much longer than the ones that come with our cars.

it is normal for only 4 lights to turn on when pressing the brakes. The two inner lights do not light up. There are mods to wire all six lights, but our cars were designed to only light up the outer four lights.
