Default Light on dashboard in my Jaquar 2000 xj8

Hello everyone, I read many of the issues like myself check rear lights on dashboard going on when lights are on in the two light settings. Well for days I did not why this was happening. Well thank goodness I cancelled my appointment with Jaquar I could just imagine what my bill would of totaled to. Several guys at work suggested check every bulb in rear light housing. Even thought the lights were on some bulbs had burnt and corroded at base of bulb, also one I couldn't even get out breaking in pieces, the prior owner probably never changed bulbs, possibly leaving in her hot garage for years. Sending false signals to dash stating check rear lights because of aging & losing power. I went to auto zone store & ask the guy for help he noticed one was out that I couldn't detect. He changed three bulbs, & guess what everyone no more warning on dash, I was so happy, I'm recommending to all check change bulbs. I hope my story will help all, I know if you follow me on this you will solve problem. Sincerely LC from queens New York.
