Hi hoping some of you corsa Guru's will be able to help me with this i am about right to rip my hair out!

The problem is that my rear lights dont work... The "reverse", "brake", "fog", & "Indicators" all work fine.. its just the tail light that wont come on.. I have changed the bulbs and fuses.. i think it might be something a little more complicated as its affecting both sides of the car (both clusters) does anyone have any idea's ?

Thanks a million

if you've definitly changed the bulbs & fuses then check to see if current is getting the bulb socket.

u'll need a multimeter to do this, not particulary expensive to buy.

fuses are usually the common problem, just because they still look in one piece doesnt mean they are.

just swap the fuse with another one of the same rating from the fusebox and check the lights again. i had this problem with main beam & it turned out to be the fuses
