Get the bulb out. Go to autozone and tell them you want that. no you don't need to replace your taillights. Calm down, is like a five $ replacement for like two bulbs

Do I pop the trunk and detach the tail light from there? Yeah, I was in a panic. I was worried I'd have to buy a whole new tail light...

Thanks!

It could just be that you are low on blinker fluid...

Don't forget to check the muffler bearing while you're at it...

Taillight bulb for a bugeye is a 7443. Hit up auto zone or whatever auto parts store is close and ask for a 7443 bulb
