If you have a tow bar check out the trailer plug. Unplug it from in the boot and see if it still happens. Also turn on your headlights. Do your brake lights come on?

Also check that someone hasnt fitted a single filament globe to one of the tail lights instead of a twin filament.
Could also be a faulty twin filament globe, remove both of them and then try it.

We had the same thing happen to the work car after we put in 2 new brake globes.One ended up being faulty , just swapped it for new one and all was fine again.

Nah, let the Holden fool suffer a bit longer!

Early Commonwhores (up to VP) usually get water in the tail lights and the globe holders go rusty.
