Hi all,

Some help required, please can you help! I'm not that
mechanically minded, but i am sure i'll be able to sort
this issue out with a little guidance.

When the headlights are off and i press the brake pedal,
the side lights come on. The brake lights work too. When
the headlights are on and i press the brake pedal, the
brake lights work, but are very very dull (probably
illegally so).

Please can you help identify the source of the problem?

Iain

All sorted now. It turns out one of the rear bulbs was a
single filament rather than a duel. Something so simple,
but such strange symptoms.

Cheers.

sounds like you have an earth fault poss at the rear lights, its just a case of tracking the fault with a multimeter and also check the plugs and bulb holders/bulbs

glad it was an easy fix
