One tail-light is on the same circuit as the number plate light. The other is on a different circuit, so you don't lose both tail-lights if a fuse blows. Check out the earths - you may find there is a bad connection. If the wiring grounded out, the fuse would have blown again the moment you turned the lights on. You don't need the ignition key on for these lights. The bulb-holders sometimes get corrosion on them. Give them a good clean if they are discoloured. Dave.

On my 65 square, when I pull the light switch out to the first notch, my front parking lights go on but nothing in the rear. Shouldn't all the parking lights front and back come on? I tried turning on the key and nothing happens. The bulbs are new and screwded in. I changed the #1 and #2 fuses (my Bentley says those are left and right parking lights/ I have the 10 fuse box, all are 8 amp except the last one is a 16) Any ideas what I might want to check next? My licencse plate light is also not working so are the two related or routed the same way(maybe there is a grounded wire. I guess I just need to know where to look first.
