   Basically when i turn my lights on,, the lights that come on on the back of the car so people can see you...the one on the passenger side flashes when i rev the car, also it flashes on and off when i am driving normally.
   I have changed the bulb thinking the bulb was on its way out and now the light does not work at all?
   
   Anyone have any ideas????

   poor earth connection usually to blame for rear light problems. Not sure were earth points are for rear lights, check in the boot in at each side, might be under the parcel shelf support perhaps.

   cheers mate..
   i also realised that my rear number plate lights were out to.
   i looked in the fuse diagram and it said rear side light out and number plate bulb. fuse 13.
   so got a new fuse and its all sorted !
