   Hi guys,
   
   my drivers side rear tail light is out yet I've looked at the bulb and its brand spanking new!
   Any ideas?
   There was some water in the light but it wasn't anything a hair dryer couldn't get rid of!
   
   Cheers,
   Matt

   Try cleaning up the bulb holder on the light board.

   I gave it a quick once over with the hair dryer but it didn't really work, one of the actual connections to the bulb look really rusty and warn which wasn't too reassuring :-/
