The brake light alerts other drivers of whether you are slowing down or stopping the vehicle. It is important to ensure that you have a working brake light because it is a ticketable offense and for safety reasons.

Before using this guide, make sure to turn the car off and to purchase a replacement bulb (Model: Sylvania 2357LL).

When I followed the instructions in reverse order as instructed to reassemble everything, I ended up with the old bulb back in the vehicle. Is there any way to fix this?
