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? _________________ 1987 Porsche 924S Black/Black. 5-spd.

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 _________________ 17in caymans, koni yellow coilovers, hypercoil springs, kla solid upper mounts, 968 sway bars, kla drop links, kla strut brace, fidanza flywheel, dansk catback, wilwood front calipers, ss brake lines, e-codes, 944 duckbill, manual rack,momo steering wheel |

and you can make your lights look like this:
