Brake Light Issue
« on: 31 March 2010, 13:46:39 »
Hey folks, got a wee issue with my brake lights...

basically the wee one top of the rear window is working fine but the 2 rear of the car are not.

I simply assumed blown bulbs but on checking i can't see any seperate brake bulbs so assume the rear lights work as the brake lights????

they work fine as rear lights though so stuck as to where to start looking.

this on a 2l x plate facelift auto saloon

any pointers as to where to start looking would be most appreciated.

Has it got two filaments in. If yes, change the bulb for a decent make. If no, replace with correct type
