Brake Lights

Post by andyb »

Hi guys, Im new to the forum like it alot.

I have a problem with my passenger side brake light, It intermittenly works. If I tap the light it works then when the peddle is released and reapplied it doesnt work again.

I have tried several bulbs to no avail.

Has anybody else had a similar problem or does anybody have any ideas as to what it may be?

Thanks

Andy

I have a similar prob with my n/side rear light. I think the cause is with the bulb contact (in the bulbholder unit). I'm going to try bending the contact to give a tighter fit to see if that cures it.
