hi guys

 

if one tail light is out, that does not mean its the fuse is it? it will either be the bulb or the socket. i have replaced the bulb but it is still not lighting up but i have already checked the socket and now im stumped.

 

any advise please?

 

many thanks

Fuse 17 for left, 18 for right.

If it is the fuse, the sidelight at the front will be out on same side.

I think you have two tail light bulbs per side so swapping one round with the other side may help determine if the bulbs are ok. Put a good bulb from one side in the duff side, the duff side bulb in the working side. This will tell you instantly if it is a bulb issue.

i really do feel like an idiot right now, all along i was checking out the brake lights and not the tail lights. really sorry guys, i just sorted it literally 5 mins ago.

 

many apologies :( 

You are only an idiot if you do the same thing again, next time round... Anyone can make a mistake! At least the issue is sorted.

thanks again for helping though  

You're welcome. I have had masses of help on this site myself and although there have been a few minor spats with a few members here and there, it has been one of the best sources for help, information and the occasional larf!

i agree, all the things i have posted in the past, i would never have done it without any help on this site such as changing drum brakes. i was so nervous at first but this site have really calmed me down on the matter.
