Abstract
A lighting system includes at least two indicating lights each supporting primary and secondary lighting functions. The at least two indicating lights are selected from a group consisting of a turn signal light, a brake light, and a reverse light. A diagnostic module determines when a first one of the at least two indicating lights is not operating. A lighting control module is configured to control a second one of the at least two indicating lights to support the primary lighting function when the first one of the at least two indicating lights is operating and the primary lighting function is commanded and to adjust operation of the second one of the at least two indicating lights to support the secondary lighting function corresponding to the first one of the at least two indicating lights when the first one of the at least two indicating lights is not operating.
