Tail or Stop Light Out Indicators

Tail Lamps

This symbol is a Tail or Stop Light Out Indicator symbols. The replacement of a light bulb or two will restore order. Some manufacturers add a text message in the instrument panel noting exactly which light is out. The symbol is often described as eyelashes coming out of the back of a car! The lines or eyelashes pointing out are meant to represent light.

  • But first, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, continue on below.

And there’s still another…

These two versions are a Stop Light or Brake Lamp Out Indicator. They specifically point to a burned out brake light bulb. Again, the eyelashes pointing back are part of the equation, and the words STOP or BRAKE are there for obvious reasons. There may be a further message in the instrument panel noting the exact bulb. Again, have the light bulb replaced.

Note that in all cases, there is the outside possibility of a bad fuse or a broken wire or some other electrical issue affecting the tail lights.
