rear lights
« on: March 06, 2012, 06:28:57 pm »
as you can see in the picture below Im having a few problems with my rear lights. this picture is of the car with its lights, fog lights & brake lights, on.

1. the left fog isnt on, is this becuase that isnt a fog its the reveres light?
2. none of the brake lights are working aparts from the high vis light does this mean I need new lights or can they be fixed
3. rear lights- half of the rings are not working on both sides  , as above can this be fixed or do they need to be replaced



thanks
