Is the center brake light (the one in the rear window) working? If it is, replace both bulbs. If it is not, go back to Hyundai hand have them check the brake light switch.

I have a 2007 Accent and notice if my driving lights are not all the way on, my back lights won't come on.

boudreaued,

Your vehicle has the daytime running light. Looking at the diagram, once you turn on the light switch (for side markers), your DRL relay shuts down and relays for side markers and taillights come on.

You may want to check inside the junction box, left side of dash, for your taillight relay. Do this, pull your hand brake up, start the engine. Turn the light switch to side markers, not head light. Go out of the car, and check to make sure that your taillights work. They should come on with the side markers, not headlight.
