check the fuses thats the safest bet. also if that doesn't work check your connections at the globe, see if there corroded or dirty give them a sand back for better conductivity.

Just what I was going to suggest after the fuses: check the connections to the globes as it could just be a wiring issue.

Also check the earth for the tail lights, alot of the time it can be that aswell!

Check brake light switch mate, at top of brake pedal. Most likely be that if fuses are ok.

Hi,

The brake light circuit is still a simple mechanical switch on the brake pedal. Should be trivial to troubleshoot. It might simply need adjustment.
