Hi guys
I have a problem with my brake lights.
When I put my brakes on my park lights & dash lights come on.
Then when I turn my lights on my spoiler brake light stays on.
Any idea what the problem could be.
Thanks Dave.

you've either got faulty brake light globes
or
you have single fillament ones installed

take them out and replace them with new 'correct' type globes

tail/brake light ones

this is strange thing I have seen only falcons do, but probably cos I used to work on a few of them.... what has happened is a brake light has blown and melted over to touch the tail light section of the globe...

As Krytox stated, changing you brake light globes will fix it

Thanks Guys problem solved
I had only recently purchased the clear after market tail lights which came with coloured globes
The red brake globes seemed to put off a orange glow
Bought new red globes problem solved & they glow red.
Thans Dave.
