Car electrical issues... **SORTED**
Basically ive got a problem with my rear lights/brake lights! When the headlights are on it appears that my drivers side brake light is also on, however if i then brake the drivers side that was on prior to braking goes off and the passenger side brake light then comes on?!? Checked all the bulbs and connections to both rear clusters, 1 of the tail light bulbs had blown (well 1 of the 2 filaments inside it) but i replaced that and still have the same problem! Anyone got any tips for where to start tracking down this problem?? Obviously only a matter of time before i get pulled!!

Neil check that you have put the correct type of bulb in mate I.e not a single contact in a double contact holder as this will send the lights to buggery .
