Overview

The tail light-also called a rear lamp, taillamp, or back light-lets drivers behind you see your Mitsubishi Lancer and know when you are braking or turning. This guide covers model years 2002-2017, common bulb and LED options, safety laws, fixes, and tips that help you keep this rear combination lamp bright and legal.

Fitment Years

  • 2002-2007 (Lancer ES, LS, OZ Rally): separate outer and trunk-lid lamps.
  • 2008-2017 (Lancer DE, ES, GTS, SE, GT, Evolution X): one-piece outer lamp with 7443 dual-filament bulb for tail/stop plus T10 inner bulb on trunk lid. (AUXITO, ManualsLib)

How It Works

A tail light circuit sends low power for running lights and higher power for brake lights through a dual-filament bulb or LED board. The housing also holds the turn-signal and reverse bulbs. Wiring colors on many Lancers are green / green-white for power and black for ground. (Evolution M, Evolution M)

Bulb & LED Choices

  • Halogen mini-bulb 7443 - easy swap, lasts ~1-2 years. (AUXITO)
  • T10/194 wedge bulb - small inner lamp on trunk lid.
  • Plug-in LED replacements - lower draw, 5× longer life, crisper light; may need load resistors to stop hyper-flash.
  • Aftermarket LED assemblies - full housing with running, stop, and sequential signals; popular "motion" style for 2008-2017 CJ body. (YouTube)

Safety & Laws

  • U.S. rule FMVSS 108 says tail lamps must shine red and be visible 1,000 ft at night. (eCFR)
  • Dark or "smoked" lenses that cut light output can earn tickets up to $300 in states like Texas and California. (Reddit, The US Sun)
  • Two recalls affect Lancer lighting:
    • 2009-2010 models-ETACS control module may kill tail lamps. (NHTSA)
    • 2008-2011 models-high-resistance ETACS circuit could shut off rear lights. (NHTSA)

DIY Replacement Steps

  1. Open trunk and remove carpet clip pins to reach the rear combination lamp. (ManualsLib)
  2. Unplug wiring harness-press tab, pull straight.
  3. Undo the three 10 mm nuts; support lamp so it doesn't drop.
  4. Wiggle lamp outward; watch paint edges.
  5. Twist bulb socket counter-clockwise, swap the failed 7443 or T10 bulb. Wear gloves to keep oils off glass. (, Car and Driver)
  6. Test lights before re-installing nuts and trim.

Maintenance Tips

  • Check tail lamps every month-do a walk-around with lights on.
  • Replace bulbs in pairs so brightness matches.
  • Use dielectric grease on sockets to block water.
  • Keep lens clear; wash road film off so red light stays bright.
  • After heavy rain, open trunk, remove bulb, and let housing air-dry if you see mist. (YourMechanic)

Custom Mods

  • Sequential LEDs give an Evo-style sweep and plug into factory wiring. (YouTube)
  • Tint films give a smoked look but cut light; confirm state law first. (Reddit, The US Sun)
  • Clear or red-out lens covers clip on and protect against road chips. (Car and Driver)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What bulb size does a 2015 Lancer use for the main tail light?
A: A dual-filament 7443 bulb fits the outer rear combination lamp. (AUXITO)

Q: Can I upgrade to LEDs without rewiring?
A: Yes. Plug-and-play LED bulbs fit the stock socket, but you may need a resistor or LED flasher to stop fast blinking.

Q: My tail lights quit after rain. Where do I start?
A: Check fuse #4 first, then look for water inside the lamp and corroded sockets. (YourMechanic)

Q: Are smoked lenses legal on a daily driver?
A: In most U.S. states they are illegal if they dim the red light below DOT standards. Officers can issue a fine. (Reddit, The US Sun)

Q: Does the 2009 Lancer have any tail light recalls?
A: Yes. A 2015 recall covers 2009-2010 models for an ETACS module fault that can disable rear lamps. Dealers update the part free. (NHTSA)

Q: Why do my bulbs keep burning out?
A: Excess heat or moisture can overheat the socket. Replace the gasket or lamp if the plastic looks charred. (YourMechanic)

Q: How bright must a tail lamp be?
A: U.S. rules require red light visible 1,000 ft at night; that's why clean lenses and working bulbs matter. (eCFR)

Q: Which wire is the brake-light power on a 2008-2017 Lancer?
A: The green wire with white stripe feeds the stop filament; black is ground. (Evolution M)

Q: My dash shows "Tail Light Out" but bulbs look fine. Fix?
A: The ETACS control unit may sense high resistance in a socket-clean contacts or replace the board if recall applies. (NHTSA)

Keeping the Mitsubishi Lancer tail light-your rear safety beacon-working well is simple, and the steps above help you stay bright, legal, and seen.
