My supra has a pic of the lights on the front...when they are on. and lights on the back- when one is blown. I assume it is one of these

Blown brake bulb or possibly an earth connection problem :)

probably. My mate had a piazza which had a pic of the break lights when you applied them...but that was a piazza, it probably meant the breaks fell off a road ago!
yea, check the break bulbs (and rear lights)

Its meant to go on when a rear light is out. A lot of the time its just the circut board it's attatched to getting wet and falling apart with age.
