Rear driver side light :(

Anyone have their rear drivers light go out? When I step on the brakes it lights up but it doesnt any other time. Is there a way to fix this with out going to the dealer and waiting like 5hours?!?! ......

the car doesnt show up any messages or lights when a tail light is out. I had the exact same problem with mine. Driver side tail light would only light up when i pressed the brakes. It was a grounding problem in the light and I had to go back a second time and have them replace the whole tail light assembly. Usually they will have parts like this on hand so it should be pretty quick. Ask them for a loaner depending mine was complete the same day.
