High Level Brake light

Post by Bulwell Bongoleers » Sat Dec 12, 2009 9:43 pm

Hi after going out today I noticed my rear high level brake light is not working :shock:
Does anyone know if it runs off the same fuse as the lower brake lights as these still work, have read on here that its a LED so its unlikey to be a blown blub so has anyone got any suggestions? :?

Thanks Andy

Check the wiring from body to tailgate.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Hi Have just had a quick look (its cold and dark out there :? ) and found a loose black and red wire but have no idea if this should be connected or where!
