Right brake light doesnt work but works with headlights?

[daNc]

Hey, noticed in a reflection today that the right brake light on the boot garnish of my berlina is not lighting up when i brake but when i just have the headlights on (no brakes) i can see that the globe lights up, i took it out and seen that the globe is lighting up, so what causes this to happen? thanks

The globe is a twin filament type, one for brake, one for tail light. The brake filament is probably broken, hence why it doesn't work. Get a new globe.

What he said or poor earth.

You could try swapping the left for the right to confirm the globe has blown.

are LED's any better or brighter or are the normal globes best?

could be the bayonet holder shit itself, with lights off at night, when i brake the dash lit up when mine did this, get a left side from a wreckers, they are usually in better condition, the drivers side is prone to failure

Na, it was the globe i switched them around and then the left one didnt work and the right one did

just spray all the connections with wd40 then it should start working properly

You sure seem to like that WD40.
