tail light problem

I'll probably get flamed for this and sound like a complete moron but oh well....

this happened while i was at the beach yesterday... out of nowhere, the alarm starts to chirp and then stops (no one is around). go to leave, noticed that the passenger side tail didn't light up when i unlocked the car, nor does it signal or light up when braking.

however... it still lights up when the driving lights are on.

no fuse is blown (that i noticed anyways)

thoughts guys?

i think they are on separate fuses, the brake lights from the driving lights and such....I could be wrong tho.

The bulb has 2 filaments in it. One works when driving the other when blinking/braking. Go replace it $5 fix you namsy pamsy!

Now go shave your mustache............noone thinks Freddie Mercury is sexy. And if they do then they probably have TEH AIDS by now.
