The bulb on the very left only turns on when I press the brakes. This doesn't seem right as when I turn the lights on, only the bottom right bulb turns on, which is dim and seems dangerous. Should the bulb to the left be on as well and only get brighter when i press on the brakes?

your car is working 100% as intended.

its a pretty common mod to get a second bulb holder and put it in the middle "dead cell"

i did it and it is a cheap and easy safety measure
