Thanks for that will investigate when I get a chance, im not particularly keen on the middle brake light because its got 3 bulbs that dont work but im curious as to what caused it to fail.

Had a quick glance today and remembered I once stripped off the boot lid wiring loom and pulled those black push in plugs out to look inside the cover and guess which numpty had left the brake light unplugged :facepalm:

There are two types: one is sealed so you can't swap out the blown bulbs .. if you could I bet they are the small 2w 286 capless things fitted to most upper brake lights.


I picked up an LED unit .. problem with that is the lead is too short to connect to the main loom!!!



(Oh and we probably have a break in the loom feeding it as there is no power anyway!)
