More of an annoyance than a problem, Plz Help

When i step on my brake a red rear lamp light come up near me speedometer, nomally this means that a brake light is out. (i think) So I went ahead and looked and found that one of my spolier brake lights was out but i replaced it and the light is still going on when i press on the brake. I also checked All of the other experior lamps and they are all working great. Any ideas almighty Z gurus?

You need an OEM Nissan light. The wattage on the replacment bulb is different, causing the fault that the system is reading.

The thing is that i bought the bulbs for the rear spoiler directly from nissan. Do you think there could be a shortage anywhere or anything along those lines?

This light simply means that the resistance read through the lighting system is not within specs, this can be caused by moisture, a degraded lightbulb, etc. even with all new lightbulbs it can stay on then u might switch one with a different new one from the same pack and it might go out, it is rather touchy.
