Break lights stopped working help please!
« on: 06 March 2010, 19:46 »
Hi well changing some lights over at the front of the car today having a lot of trouble i might add as very tight, i know i should have taken the bumper off but hay! i had particular problems with one of the H1 bulbs and now cant get that to work think i may have pulled some wiring ? .... But now major concern is that now it appears that my break lights have stopped working this evening or if they do come on its a flicker and not constant.. need a fix and help guys! lights at the front effect the back ? have i pulled an earth out or something? - but surley all the other lights would stop working then wouldn't they ? Thanks!
