Not quite. It's actually the brake light. There are two tail lights and one brake light (per side). Should the upper tail/brake light fail, then the lower tail light takes over the role of tail/brake light.

Yes. It should "flag up" that a bulb has blown.

Something like a handbook that you keep in the glovebox or an online link that you keep in your list of favourites on your PC?
