Participated in rally on Sunday with about 30 LBC's in Ozark Foothills not far from St. Louis. At our first break, the driver behind me reported my brake lights weren't functioning.
Park lights work; running lights work. Haven't pulled tail light lens to look at bulbs.......is it possible that both are burned out? Sort of doubt it.

Any ideas? thanks..........dave
 
Could also be a bad pressure switch. When I bought my Bugeye two years ago, I drove from southern California to Denver with no brake lights because of that stupid switch.

Victoria British part #8-341 (page #108, item #12). It's $9.95 and I am 99% certain it will fix your brake lights.
 
You should also be able to find that switch (or one like it that WILL work) at your local parts house!

You might even be able to clean up the old one and make it work! :wink:
