The old Mig has developed an electrical fault. In a nutshell O.s r brake light not working. Fuses ok, all new bulbs installed, N.s.r + High Level all good. Have I missed something or my guess is faulty switched live to that circuit :)

Did you get your new bulbs from Halfrauds?

Check the boot loom that runs along the hinge. Very common fault.

I had a faulty brake light like this. Turned out it was the contact that plugs in to the wiring loom had a bit of rust on it

Pretty sure it must be something to do with loom on O.s.r. N.s.r connector block fits nicely with no cable strain. O.s.r nearly needs to be stretched to fit. It's like that last section of loom is run incorrectly or too short ???

The contacts in the bulb holder are a bit shite. I've had to "amend" mine to get a good contact.
