Nissan 350Z JDM Parking light and registry plate Q

[andlid]

Nissan 350Z JDM Parking light and registry plate question.

 

Background:

I failed my MOT/NCT partly due to lights (parking) not working. I thought it might have been a blown fuse since I replaced the brake light (left).

 

Problem:

 

Blown 10Amp fuse in the hidden fusebox, replaced with 10amp and it blew... took a 20Amp just to test and it didn't blow at least. front parkingh lights working, rear right hand parking light working but very faint light, registration plate lights working but these are also pretty faint, nothing on the left rear...

 

Q > Should there be a parking light on the left side? When I took the left rear light off to replace the bulb I did not see any bulb location for a parking bulb...

 

Any idea why it's so faint light?

 

Cheers

Also called sidelights

So the answer to my own Q >>> there should be two lights.

You have an earthing fault somewhere hence the dimm bulb.

You have an earthing fault somewhere hence the dimm bulb.

Or a short somewhere, hence blowing the fuse?

[andlid]

Short... new bulb I plugged in was shorting it... sorted now.

[Chris`I]

Good to hear its sorted

Good to hear its sorted

nobody happier then I, worth to not that the side light, rear light and brake light is all the same bulb...
