a friends car had the same problem a while ago, it had lexus lights fitted and whoever fitted them put the wrong bulbs in lol, there was single element bulbs where there was supposed to be double element ones, its worth having a check lol... | |

Remove the cover in the boot so you can see the wiring. I can't remember what colour the earth is on mine (I could have a look tomorrow if needed) but it should go to a bolt on the body somewhere in that corner. Just remove the bolt if there is any rust either on the connecter or the bolt clean it off with sand paper then bolt it back on. If they seem clean it could be the wire at fault. Do you have any electrical testing tools? If not just try bridging the original wire with a new piece of wire. (You'll Most likely find some lying around). | |

That's most likely the problem one then. Seems to be quite common on corsas. If it's not as bright I would more suspect a bad earth than broken wire. Although you never know. | |

come to think of it one of my rear lights does seem to be less bright as the other, not tried with the brakes on though! | |

Get your mate to sit in with brake on and indicate both ways to see which side isn't working right. (On mine drivers side was flicking between top half and bottom half). On mine wiring was dodgy near cluster and had come apart (which needed a bit of roadside soldering :lol: ) just remove cover to get to the bulb holder then check for broken wires. If there are none, find the earth point (generally bolted to body) unbolt it and clean the connection then refit and recheck. | |

It'll be a bad earth I had same after trying to sort my high level brake light which some muppet wired wrong way round. Just have to check wiring behind lights. | |

You can get to it, cos I have done it on a 1.6 sport no problems, and there is a lot more room in that engine bay of yours. | |
