    ok well i tried changing the brake bulbs and still the same issue, its at a shop right now so tommorow ill stop by and have them check the wiring to the trunk, but also. i noticed the sockets have tho little metal connections while the bulbs only have one. im assuming this is normal but correct me if im wrong.
