Just power sapping.. like when you go full on lock and just put it that ever so slightly more.. the lights dim then too

w**ker driver problem. Don't need fogs.

Unless you mean the light on the dash, in which case I'm sorry, it's an earth problem.


(I dislike foglight w*****s.....A LOT)

Unplug the connector on the rear lights and clean it.

corroded earth.

Used to get a better fault than that on cars with pop ups. twin filament bulbs would blow and short between the terminals, so you press the brake and the headights pop up. Instant airbrake!!!

As above. unplug the rear light, clean connectors with WD40/brush.
Check earth connector (Just below rear light on inside of boot)
