Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted July 30, 2011 Hi guys Failed WoF on drivers brake light this morning, removed the bulb to discover one of the flexible contacts had nearly completely corroded away. Mostly because I'm a cheap bastard I fashioned up a flat section of copper to replace the buggered steel tab and promptly blew the fuse. After replacing the offending part the passenger brake light has also quit working but strangely the high stop light still works just fine. Also the drivers tail light has gone on strike but the passenger side still works fine. Am at a bit of a loss here - any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, so the tail light was just an incorrectly fitted bulb holder..... dumbass!! Have done a bit of looking around on foreign BMW forums and most responses recommend replacing the holders Can anyone suggest where I can get some in Auckland? Better yet if they open on Sundays? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
