Hi, I've got a 2002 Peugeot Vivacity, and when the front headlight is on, the rear light doesn't come on, it's not the bulb as this works when the brake leaver is pressed,

all of the other electrics work fine..

Any advice?
Thanks Very Happy

Have you changed the bulb to make sure?

Rear bulbs normally have two filaments in them, one for the bright brake light and a dimmer one for the normal light. It's possible for just one filament to break.
