Right, here we go, i will amaze you lot at pvs with my christmas tree lights!!

....when i\'ve got my lights on, and i brake, 1 rear light cuts out and my fog and reverse lights come on.

Better still, if my lights are on, and i brake AND indicate at the same time every single light at the rear flashes with on and off of its own accord!

Any help greatly appreciated as it look to me as its going to put a large dent in my pocket!

go into your boot, and pull the connector off the back of the light, have a look if its corroded (spelling?) slightly?? clean it up alittle bit, better with fine sandpaper, but a screwdriver might do it, then plug it back in

that happens all the time to my rear passenger side

if its not that, i dunno then

Corsa rear lights are terrible for playing up. it is normally due to a bad earth if they are not working or in your case, it just might be a cross wire.

i know what it is ive had this, its a bad earth for sure, check your earth wires arent corroded on the lights, sure sign when all the lights flash with the indicators
