My passenger side brake light is out. Is it a seperate bulb from the rear headlamp or is it just a buggered fuse somewhere??

Many thanks

its a twin element bulb isn't it , brake and rear light

Ah, right

So it must be a fuse then? Do you know which one it is?

(God, I need to read the manual more!)

No M8 it could be just one of the elements has gone ,they do that sometimes ,book shows fuse 15 for left hand tail lights if fuse has gone , number plate light on that side will also be out

sorry brake lights are fuse no12 but your radio and heater blower would be out as well as both brake lights if its the fuse so must be bulb or earth connection

swap the bulb from the other side. easy.

thats all well and good but then the other side will be out and if my memory serves me right that will still be illigal
tom,
just go and buy a fresh bulb there only a couple of quid
ive got a crack in my drivers side rear cluster i might add some goldfish theres enough water in there!!

i'd rather have a working offside brake light than nearside anyway

it would be illigal but it would proove it is the bulb!

Are you lot taking the mick.Just put a new bulb in.

Sorry dad

your making me feel old...........Am I sounding old

No your not old but i'm only 45

Right. Bought a new bulb today and fitted it according to the manual but it still didn't work. So then I replaced the fuse with the spare one in the fuse compartment (which has never been used) and this was also to no avail.

Wiring problem perhaps??

chances are the pins arent lined up for the bulb, make sure each 'leg' has a contact
