driving lights

Postby schott999 » Tue Sep 16, 2025 3:38 pm

hi lads, its a query about the rear driving lights on my mk7 hitop transit. for the first time on saturday i had to go out at night in my van, after a while i noticed i was getting flashed from cars behind, when i got to my destination i noticed the nearside top light was out, because its a dual driving light and brake light the brake light worked fine, i bought new bulbs but the light will only work with the brake, all other lights work front and back, any help please.
