blown bulbs?

you can check to see if you have voltage on the little block in the boot, get a mate to press the brake and look for the one that gives a voltage with brake applied and none when off the brake.

If thats the case, i'd suggest replacing the bulbs. Take you about 15-20 mins :thumleft:

If it's an import it's probably had the inner 2 bulbs disconnected from the brake circuit so that they can be used as rear fog lights. When I bought mine it had been wired up so that the outer 2 bulbs operated as brake and normal rear lights, and the inner 2 operated as fogs - the inner 2 only have single fillament bulb holders so they can't be used as dual function unless you replace the bulb holders.
