got pulled the other day with no brake lights, (only been about 3 weeks since mot)

first thought was the switch on the pedal is unplugged but was ok? stripped switch down and seems ok??
Bulbs are ok aswell? any ideas what it could be?

Get the plug for the brake light switch and bridge the 2 pins with a bit of wire. If the lights come on its brake light switch.

Check the plugs on the back of the lights, earths and fuses.

Not really, both my headlight bulbs failed at the same time the other morning.

It's certainly worthwhile checking before going any further.
