Magnesium is used extensively in old-fashioned flash Photography. It is used in some fireworks, also.

Fireworks usually contain a mixture of metals chosen for the colors they produce, along with gunpowder. Old fashioned flash powder can be made several ways including gunpowder mixed with tiny particles of magnesium, aluminum, or other metals.

Why do the turn signals work on a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 but not the brake lights when it's the same bulb?

There are two elements in some bulbs. One element is for the tun flash, the other is for the brake or taillight. I also failed to mention that they are single element bulbs. It's 1 bulb, single element. It controls both the brake light and the turn signal. The turn signals work fine on both sides but no brake lights when I apply the brake.
