Default check rear lights

Hi forum friends. The tail light message kept coming on especially when braking. I took the taillights out, bulbs we're good. The contacts on both bulbs and fixture we're corroded. Cleaned the bulb contacts with 320 grit wet or dry sandpaper and the contacts with watchmakers fiberglass brush. Then used dielectric grease on both. Problem solved.
