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:
Common Problems
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Quick Check |
| One side dark | Burned bulb | Swap bulb left↔right. (YourMechanic) |
| Both sides dark | Fuse #4 (10 A) in engine box | See fuse map. (YouTube) |
| Fuses good but no brake light | Melted bulb socket from heat | Inspect plastic base. (YourMechanic) |
| Fog inside lens | Cracked seal allows moisture | Dry, then reseal with butyl. (YourMechanic) |

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