R34 Left Brake And Hi-Stop Lights Not Working

[arch6]

I've just noticed last night that my left brake light and my hi-stop light has both stopped working, now I'm left with just my right one.

The left rear park light (is that what it's called?) is still working, just not lighting now with I hit the brakes.

Since it was getting dark already I didn't have too much time to have a real good look.

But I did check both the fuse boxes in the engine bay and by the accelerator, and both the fuses that related to the tail lights looked good (I only check under a torch, not with a multimeter).

And I pulled the left lights out and again did a visual check on the bulb, it looked good.

So now I m stumped, I will check the wiring/plugs after work today, but since the park light is working, I doubt anything is wrong with the plug.

And it's odd that both the left and hi-stop both stopped working.

The only thing I can think of is that the wiring has shorted/burnt etc.

Just hoping someone here may have some ideas, and can point me in a direction to look solve this.

Thanks

I don't have a clue which lights you're talking about except for the brake light. Are your dash lights working?

Get a test light and check the power at the plug. If the high stop light was fitted for compliance chances are the wire is broken where they joined into the stock loom (possibly)

Ironically the same thing has just happened to me too. I noticed it about 30min ago when the Mrs was in the car... I havn't done anything to the car lately to 'cause' it too, so it's a bit weird.

I'm hoping it's something easy too. If I sort it out, I'll post back with what was my issue.

I just had a play with mine now and got it working...it was just a blown bulb (T10 wedge) luckily I had some spare led ones and they worked like a charm.

Ant, I'm assuming yours will be the same problem.

Obviously you have to get to the tail lights (remove the carpet in the boot, undo 5 screws on the right side and she should just pull out and 4 screws on the left...)

quite often they dont look blown, but if you hold it up to a light and flick it you may see the filament shake around
