    MOT in 2 hours and the rear parking lights are playing up _URGENT!!!!

    Isn't it typical my MOT is due and this morning I get bulb failure parking lights.

    The near side work, but the off side don't, both bulbs are out.

    Find around and change a bulb (doesn't look as if it has blown) and they work.

    10 minutes later bulb failure and now both side are out.

    stop car restart and both sides are now working.

    1/2 hour later and bulb failure again. This time the nearside are out and the offside work.

    Any urgent suggestions!!!!!!!



    thanks

    Might be worth checking the multiplugs that connect to the light units aren't corroded.
