as above really , the left side works and i swapped the bulbs over and thats ok,

 

also should there be 2 bulbs light up each side cos i only get the outer left one lighting up, its that long since i have the car up and running i cant remember if both should light up either side,

 

so to sum it up, ive checked the stop light fuse thats ok, all 4 bulbs light up when i turn the lights on, but only the out left bulb lights up when i apply the brake, but he other three bulbs light up in that holder ok

 

confused i am

Have you got the rear fog conversion with the inner two brake lights? Also check if you have a voltage on the bulb holder of the other outer brake lamp. If not you'll have to do a little wire tracing, to see if you have a wire trapped.

same problem over the weekend, all sorted now though.in the boot remove the drivers side rear arch cover and find the "lights" control box (about 1.5 x 2 black box). when i found mine it was full of water- when i openned it up it was a green goo inside and there are 2 wire links - not in mine had corroded away. too completely remove the unit and keep all the lights do the following

 

on the plug

cut and joint together the red wire to the red/black stripe wire

there should be a black wire and a yellow/red stripe above it, cut these wires and tape them up separetly

 

you should be left with 2 yellow/red stripe and 2 green/red stripe. connect 1 yellow to 1 green and then the other yellow to green.

 

the green/red stripe is a switched live from the foot pedal and goes to a common point in the loom

the black is negative so not needed

the 1st yellow/red stripe is the return to the "lights" indicator on the dash

the other 2 yellow/red stripe are the brake lights either side of the car.

 

I hope this helps mate

thanks for the reply, well it looks like the box you was on about had been removed and connector blocked had been bridged out rather than cutting, but i did what u said and it worked ok,

cheers
