Assuming that all the lights really do light up but the light warning light is still on, the problem I had was barely perceptible corrosion between the bulb and the socket. The light with corrosion lights up but trips the bulb out warning light. I used rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts and it was fixed. I’m sure it applies to all the bulbs, but for me personally, it’s always been the brake light bulbs, especially the center one. Cheers and good luck.

thanks for that.

i will clean the contacts as we are having some really damp weather here in england ,u.k.

i notice that one of the reverse light bulbs has a faulty connection and comes on after i tap the light assembly from the outside-but this does not trigger the warning light as far as i am aware.

my car does not have a centre high level rear brake light.
