[T2] rear brake light question

[Phil Parker]

I'd replace the bulb - I've had duff ones straight out of the packet. Make 
sure it's in the right way too as it's easy to put these things in the wrong 
way round. The locating pins sticking out from the side are at different 
levels so they SHOULD only go in one way but they don't.
