Also worth "stretching" those contacts on the bulbholder to make sure there is good pressure on them when they are reinstalled. While you have the bulbholders and bulbs out, check the bulbs actually work in the holders, it's unusual but it could be both bulbs have blown. Also check the eart connections to the cluster, usually there's an earth point in the cubby hole below the clusters.

Every replacement switch now is with new style connector. Voltage at the rear light checked with a multimeter? Do it with a test light. Often the switch doesn't get enough way if you go in reverse. The connection is bad, voltage drop normal. If you get power to light up the test light the bulb socket may be molten. Standart at this cars too Good luck, Kay |

It can't be too much of problem to sort out!
If you are having problems after all you have done get/make up a low wattage 12v test bulb in a holder and connect it to the live input to the rear light and ground ... if it lights up (when you have the car engine running ... important point!!) your problem is at the light cluster. Bob |

I still have the problem that my reverse lights only work with the clutch fully engaged, the minute I let it out they go out! Makes for fun parking sometimes on winter nights but I manage!

Could be Dave although I don't know if they have ever worked from when I got the car last November. I just drive straight onto my drive and never park in the street. Strange one

I thought it was shortly after you'd done the gear lever bushes Mark - my mistake!
