Nearside Rear Tail Light

[tcb180]

Over past few days warning has come up to check n/s/r lamp. So with a house brick weighting the pedal down I investigated to find it was working perfectly.

BUT; Upon removing the bulb and refitting it, the bulb filament just about lights up very very dim and flashes on and off before coming back to normal.

Checked wiring plug, connections and fitted new bulb but still does it periodically.

Any ideas on a fix?

Sorry guys, it's the stop lamp. Flashes on and off for about six times and then bursts into proper illumination.
