I keep getting the check rear lights code on dash. but i have checked bulbs and wires and all is working. I also had a friend stand behind the car with the check rear lights was on and every light works my blinker my rear fog or whatever it's called and both left and right brake light and regular back lights work as well. and my reverse light works and the third brake light works as well i am stumped and have no clue. does anyone have any suggestions or have the same problem?

 

I hate to reply with a "me too" but I have the same problem. I look forward to someone helping us both out with this.

 

Make sure you have the european spec bulbs in the sockets- find the spec in your owner's manual. Some US spec bulbs fit the socket fine but draw slightly less current.

 

When I bought my car, it had the exact same problems.

Take the plastic boards out (turn the clip 90 degrees, and unlock the connector).
Take all bulbs out, and bend the steel brackets for each bulb slightly, in such way that the bulb is held tighter when you insert them.
If the bulbs are tight on the + and -, the warning will not occur any more.
The problem is caused by a very slight loss of contact.

 

Thank you Eric i bent the wire slightly and have not had a warning light for about a week this used to happen almost every other time i braked

 

make sure to only use all brass color bulb base or silver color bulb base lights.
Even a little difference in resistance causes issues.

 

I had the same problem...one bulbs didn't fix it...i eventually bought a used light board for the back left off eBay and it did the trick...if the bulbs don't do it...it is definitely the light boards...like mentioned use oem bulbs...i ordered mine at britishparts.co.uk
