Default Stop Lamp MOT Fail

Hi Guys ,

another thing to repair immediately:
Stop lamp(s) light intensity significantly reduced central (4.3.3(a)(ii))

Any idea how to fix it and any link to buy a new one?

Thanks

Matt

Check the rear tail light as when it fails, the brakelight replaces it at lower intensity It's a built in safety feature

Hi Thanks,

I don't understand is the central stop light that doesn't work and all the other lights are fine

Sorry, thought you meant the brakelight. That light is led, so check the wiring to it.

If it is light intensity and LED could some of the LED's have failed?
I think there has been a thread on repairing them but I could be way off the mark.
May be just easier if any of the LED's have failed to replace the unit.
