Faulty earth.

Wrong section too.

as the normal, dodgy earth somewhere maybe?

It'll be one or both of your stop and tail bulbs in the rear light make sure the bulbs are ok and situated correctly, I have had this myself many moons ago

[AlexW]

He says headlights, now i wonder if he means front and rear or just rear? lol

[stevie78]

come 2 think of it my tail light was out so a stole the 1 from the revese to get me by mabee that

[Graeme]

That'll be it mate has to be a double filament bulb, the single filament will be making a connection over the two pins thus making the headlamps and the brakelights one circuit and aw06 I am fully aware what his original post says

[stevie78]

cheers folks

[Steve]

I had the very same on mine, it was the earth in the boot below the tailgate lock, it broke and everytime I stopped the cars in front thought I was flashing them lol

[stevie78]

sorted now

[Steve]
