i was driving to work today to find both my brake lights are out! just a quick question about them, are they a special mistu light(do i have to buy them thru them)and if so are they going to cost me an arm and a leg? or can i go to autobarn or supercheap for them?

You can get the globes from any auto shop, sometimes even the local servo.
If both are out i'd make sure it's not just a fuse that's blown.

Make sure your stoplight switch is working too!

Also test if the parkers are on as well. The bulbs used are the 5/21 watt offset bulbs with
the pins on the side offset (height wise) where one is for the 5 watt (parker light) and one
is for the 21 watt (brake light).

parkers are fine, just the main lights(:nuts: ) i don' think that it would be a fuse as the parcel shelf light is still working, or is that on another fuse? i would say that they have both blown as the one that i have taken out, the wire is busted(though, its not very noticeable). i kinda find it wierd that they both went. i will check the fuse as well, just to be sure, is it under the dash?

The fuse box in under the dash and the brake fuse should be number 3 and is a 15amp
one. There should be a spare one in the box. The fuse for the tail lamps (parkers) are in
the engine compartment (number 2).

1st gens have a warning light about brake lights on the dash. Pity all magna gen's didn't have it.

YEH!
one of the best inventions put in a car it should be an adr, its annoying when you blow one and it comes on all the time but least it annoys you enough to replace it
