Problem with exterior lights going on me
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2023 4:59 pm
Took the car to MOT yesterday, half an hour before leaving I realised I'd not checked the lights
All except the rear fog were working, I opened the rear cluster to see what kind of bulb was needed, put it back in place and suddenly the dead bulb light came on the dash.
I took it to the test without a change (I live in N Ireland, we test in government centres, not at a mechanics, too late for a motor factors along the way) assuming it would fail. Got through with a single minor defect, the right rear brake light, which was working when I checked.
I went out this morning to replace the brake bulb, it looked slightly blackened, checked the bottom left bulb (assume that's the fog) and that looked ok. But when I cycled through the lights my front right dipped beam was out all of a sudden, no bulb warning on the dash.
Should I expect an issue with the electrics?
