Our new Bigfoot is a 2003 25C9.6. We have the two piece square tail lights with the outer being the running light/brake/turn. The inner has a red outer and clear square center for backup. On braking only the outer light comes on, thI would think e inner only seems to light up on backup and the red outer ring never comes on. that both should light up. Question is how should they work? Could someone with a Bigfoot of about this vintage and taillight arrangement go see how theirs operates for me.Thanks

Bargman lights? If so the inner fixture is only b/u with reflector around it- no other light functionedit add pic

I have a 1993 Lance... with same light configuration... the red ring around the back up light is merely a reflector...

My TC isn't that old.I did upgrade with L.E.D. tail lights, and mounted them higher on the TC.

Thanks for all the answers, they are Bargmen lights. The inner is only a backup so I guess they are fine. We're shipping out to South America in November so the learning curve on this one needs to be steep.

I'm not going with LED lights. They burn out all too often and can't change the bulb. I knew there had to be a trade-off about them.

Our Bigfoot is a 2000 25c9.6 like yours... Lights work exactly the same as yours...

The backup light glows red along with the white/clear lens. The combo color lenses are not partitioned to do what you think it should..

The outer solid red glows for parking and bright for brakes... 2 elements in one bulb. The backup light are single element.
