Bulb out warning light: meaning and what to do

What it means

An exterior bulb has failed (brake, turn or headlight).

Can I keep driving?

Yes. The bulb out light is information, not a fault. It tells you a system is on or needs a simple action.

What to do

Walk around the car with the lights on to find it. Replace it soon; it's a ticketable fault.

On some cars it shows as text

Typical repair cost (US)

$10–$150

Estimated range when a repair is needed; it depends on the car and the cause.

What the color tells you

Amber or yellow lights mean a system needs attention. It's usually safe to keep driving carefully, but don't put it off.
