Help! Rear Brake light


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

My rear LH brake light wasn't working, so I changed the bulb. Now it is dimmer. Closer inspection shows its a two filament bulb and the wrong filament seems to be lighting up.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

So are you saying the LH light is a lot dimmer than the right hand bulb when the headlight switch is on ??

The bulb can only go in one way so not sure how the wrong filament can light up.  With your lights on "parker" yes the lower filament will light up and when you press the brake then the brighter filament will. My guess is you probably have the wrong wattage globe. Are you able to check the wattage ? I'd also check to see if you have a loose earth cable in there for the tail light assembly.
