Hi,
I recently replaced the rear left brake bulb in my '99 206 as it was working with the lights on but not illuminating when braking. After replacing the bulb worked for braking but when i drive with lights on it illuminates as if im braking constantly.
Is there a simple fix for this?
Cheers

Did you put the correct bulb in?
Check the connections and the earth, and make sure the bulb is in the holder properly and the right way round. It's easy to put them in 180 degrees out, and this will give you a dimmer brake light, but a brake light brightness tail light.

Make sure the bulb has two elements inside. One for the lights and one for braking
