Tail Light question

[jthill3]

I have a 77 Coupe. There are four tail lights - 2 on top (right and left) and two on the bottom (right and left).

My question is: When I turn the lights on, the top two lights come on and the bottom two come on when the brakes are applied. Is this correct?

I thought that all four should come on when the lights are turned on and all four light up when the brakes are applied.

Thanks for all answers.

Here is the correct operation.

Tail ligts-both top bulbs (two on each side )

Brake lights-outer top bulbs (one on each side)

Turn signals-both bottom bulbs (one on each side)

There are only three bulbs in each housing unless you count the back up light.
