Alrighty,

About a week ago, my front right headlight blew, is not working. Parkers work, High Beam works.

Today, I discovered my Rear right brake light is also not working.

Could this be a fuse, or just needed bulb replacements?

i don't think its a fuse, but might be wise to check.

Just get on your knees and pop your head under the drivers footwell, take a torch aswell, pop the cover off the black box you will see and carefully examine each fuse making sure none are broken.

if they are all intact i would buy some new globes and see how long they last

dash lights working?


It's natural for a fuse to explode and disconnect the electrical system to prevent further damage, there must be a fuse blown, either in the bonnet or under the steering wheel. Replace the fuse, if it happens again get it check my auto elec, though might just be your front globe is gone and needs a new one ?

Ok well, all the other lights are working fine, just not my rear brake light when, my lights are turned on. And my front driver side light is gone, so because it's two on the right might think it's a fuse..lol.

This could also be a bad earth some where in the circuit, trace the wires and find those earths.

Well I'll try the globes first, check the fuse, and if that's all good then it'll be the wiring (****!) Is it easy to replace the bulb in the front headlight?
