    D3 brakes lights

    G'day guys,

    I was checking everything before my D3 (07 V8 HSE) goes in for the RWC, and noticed that the brake lights in the main light assemblies are not working. The lights in the strip at the top of the tailgate are, so it would seem that the brake switch is working OK.

    Any ideas on what might be the cause?

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Willem

    Doesn't look like it. But all of them at once would be a bit of a co-incidence.

    When one of mine goes, they all join in. I think it is some kind of brake light sympathy.

    Thanks, alpick, for the suggestion. What's involved in changing to LED?
