Easy question about BRAKE LIGHTS

Are all the 1157's across the back supposed to illuminate with brake? The four in the middle on my car only work as tail light. Is this the way it is supposed to be or are the middle bulbs coincidentally out?

Haven't counted, but I believe yours are lighting correctly. If you remove the lens assembly, be very careful to not chip the surrounding paint.

Also be careful when reinstalling the assembly to not break the red reflectors. The tail light assembly will hang on the edge of them and they will break in the 90° turn. I found this out the hard way.

Only the outer three blink. I think they are 2057's
