I am new to the JSW, and was checking my lights. There is a section of my tail lights that does not light up on either side, but has a bulb. Also, the car does not throw a code for failed bulb. Can you identify it? I have attempted to search online for a diagram or instructions for changing the rear bulbs, but have come up with nothing so far.

Actually brake lights are on the top and middle are “night” lights. I owned 2011 JSW TDI for 8 years and almost 300k miles and now own 2014 JSW TDI for almost a year.

Welcome to the JSW world. :)

They are bound to be bad light board(s) or bulb itself. You can switch the brake bulb to night bulb to test to make sure they work. I do that because I have DeAutoKey LED bulbs so I had to double check before warranty claim on them. Old 2011 had one light board go bad.
