hi

The mot is due on the Cinq Sporting and I replaced a blown bulb twice for the tail lights. Now I noticed that it is always much brighter than the other side. After replacing it for the 2nd time I realised it is actually the brake light which is on with the tail light permanently, hence burning out bulbs regulary.

I have tried cleaning the contacts but everything looks sweet and so simple. But the brake lights work great when the lights are off, its when you put on the lights, the left rear taillight illuminates the brake lamp too.

Can anyone tell me where to begin fixing this, I am running out of time...
 
Thanks, Is it really that simple? I didn't think you could put the bulb in the wrong way...
 
I checked it out. And bingo!! Seems it is possible to fit the bulb the wrong way round. All is well again. Thanks v.much. How stupid do I feel now...
