Hi folks
Newbie here so go easy on my!
I have a 2008 RRS 2.7 there is a fault with the offside rear tail light
They are led and as far as I can see they are standard fitment
The side lights come on but the offside seems a little brighter than the near side one.
When I press the brake pedal with the side lights on the offside appears not to come on the near side works as it should
However if I put the side lights off the offside stop light does come on though it is extremely dull hence why I can't see it with the side lights on!

Got me puzzled this one has anyone had this issue before??

Cheers guys

Have you checked the terminals?.....may have a corrosion problem or an iffy contact.

I had the lamp unit completely off the car and unplugged
It all seemed ok no "green" corrosion on the pins in the multi plug

.....sounds like a wobbly cable in the back of plug socket.
Maybe give each one a little tug and see if it's loose.
Could just be shorting out.
Are they led bulbs or an after market led rear unit? I was born with a photographic memory. Shame it didn't develop!

You might want to check the earthing point nearest to the offending tailight. Usually it's like a captive bolt with several wire terminals and a nut holding them on - worth cleaning up any corrosion. 2011 TDV6 HSE Stornoway grey, ivory trim

Life's too short to drive an ugly car.

Thanks for that tip I will take the unit out tomorrow and trace the wires back to find an earth point.
