Yep, as people have said tail lights are lower 2 and top 2 are brake/tail lights. Of course that doesn't include the parcel shelf brake light

I reckon it would be better if only two were tail lights and all 4 for brake. Greater difference.
I also wish they would make LED replacement brake globes legal seeing they come on instantly, not 1/10 second later.
Why aren't they legal? Is it because the red of the LED doesn't match the red of the plastic lens?

Pub247 and alpha_au are correct. All the globes stayed double filament though.

I think that the LED's aren't legal because they don't meet (or simply haven't been tested to meet) requirements for visibility at an angle to the lens.

Actually i think you misread, I'll make this as plain as i can

For Brake illumination:
VN= all 4
VP= top 2

With parkers and headlights selected ON:
VN + VP use all 4 (on the low voltage part of the globe)

I hope this clears things up
