Hey guys, pretty new to the forums but no stranger to modified cars! Recently picked up a real sweet 2000 vt berlina anyways just tidying it up as a neat run around, long story short I noticed my passenger side brake light was playing up, with the Parker's on at night when I hit the brakes the passenger side would turn off all together ( meaning no Parker nothing ) wile my other brake lights function as normal, so I pulled out tail light to inspect the globe, and the globe was fine however the plug base seemed to be cracked, but the globe seemed to still sit in it like normal, so I assumed that its the globe holder and put it back together then head out to the wreckers to find another, so on the way there this happened --->

Lol totally random so I ghetto rigged it till last me the day till I could get it to the exhaust shop tomorrow morning, so back to the brake light I noticed on the way home after work my brake light was now working however it was on non stop wile the rest operated as normal, is this a common vt problem? Or am I on the right track with the globe holder?

Any info appreciated cheers!

Thanks for the reply ill have to take another look over it I imagine the wrecker will try sell me a whole brake light loom anyways...

# edit

Yer globe is in right thought I had morning dumb when I looked at it but inspected it against the working side lol, exhaust is no biggy rubber hanger gave out and the clamp holding the rear section obviously wasn't that tight, good mate of mine owns an exhaust shop so no stress just wasted time :p
