rear light problems

[Fun_Bucket]

Trying to get through a RWC, and i'm having problems with my rear lights.

I've rlaced all the bulbs, and checked all fuses.
Indicators-check
Reverse lights-check
Brake lights-check
Lights-check
Hazards-check

All good.However, when i turn the head lights on, and apply the brakes, the bottom light on the left goes out, and nothing happens on the right.

When the head lights are on, should both the top and bottom lights be lit up?

I can't even remember what it should look like, as i dont think i've ever seen a VN/VP, with fully functioning lights!

It will be the earths. I had this a few weeks ago.

I drilled through the black globe holder and ran the black earth wire though it and soldered it onto the metal holder ring of the globe holder. I did this to all the tail light earths and now all of my stop and tail lights work as they should.

The problem is that th earth connector fails and then you get the globes not working when they should.

I ripped apart my holders, cleaned and re-soldered all the earth connection.
