Bulb or wiring problem?

Postby siren676 » Sat Feb 26, 2011 5:51 pm

I have recently noticed that my right rear park light doesn't come on when i put my lights on.
I can get it to come on by giving the light a small tap and it will work until i turn the lights off again.

Any ideas?

Loose connection, pull it apart and check it over.

Could possibly have dirty contacts on the bulb, or the bulb could be faulty? Had that problem in my sisters EP82, cept it blew bulbs. Must of been a faulty batch of bulbs as it just fixed itself one day (all bulbs came from same place)
