last night before i drove home from work, turned the lights on then my mum pointed out that my light on the rear driverside is not on, all four should be lit but only three red lights are on, i press the break and the lights come on fine untill i take my foot off then it goes back to three.

 

any ideas???:blink:

being serious mate only three of thelight turn on instead of all for but when i press the break all for come on untill i take my fot off the break then only three light up.

 

You appear to have a blown bulb. A simple job to replace. The red lights at the rear have dual filaments - one for tail light, one for brake light. This is why you get 4 lights on when you press the brake pedal; only one of the two filaments is broken.

The brake lights have a different filament than the normal lights, therefore the brakelight will work regardless of the normal light. You just need a new bulb :)

 

Edit: Beaten to it.
