PH1 rear lights

[VeinAST]

OK, all wired up correctly and now the brake/rear light is coming on with the indicators and also the left hand brake light isn't come on. (But the left hand rear light IS)

Is this due to a bad pair of bulb holders as the wires/connections are 100% in the right place and they were 100% fine with my PH2 lights before I swapped them over?

P.S not asking for opinions on this mod YET, wait for the thread in Clio Media

Thanks in advance.

They were alreet on mine bud, sounds like a grounding problem tho. You could try running a wire from the ground on the one which is being wierd, to the ground on the one thats ok, and see if that fixes it

Well atm they're both pretty awkward Kinda odd!

The connectors coming from your car - take the bulb holders off them and have a look if the little cap holding the top pins down (if you look closeley it has numbers 1-6 on). Check if this is being completely held down or if it's rised up a bit, as this is the problem with my rear lights doing similar things at the moment.

If I'm talking b****cks I'll try and get you a picture!

Nah I know what you mean mate, will go and have a quick check but think they're down fully

On mine, the two bits of plastic at either side aren't holding the top bit down properly like they should. Had to get some loom off a Clio at the scrappies in hope to swap it over and get the problem sorted!

Just checked and it's all ok! Thought swapping the bulb holders over might solve it but to no avail! Wonder what's gone wrong then?

Feck knows! Not rusty or owt are they? Checked both earthing points?

Well all wires/connectors from the car are tip top and fine! All shiny like the chrome body of the silver surfer!!

All sorted now thanks to R1XPH I put two wires in the wrong way round which threw me as I thought they were right
