Do any of you know what could be wrong? Last week the tailight went and I replaced it and it worked for about a day, today I got a new pack of bulbs and the new ones don't work but they work on the other side. I don't know if I need to buy a new bulb holder or if there is a short in the car somewhere.

All the bulbs work in there, and the others apart from the taillight work on the other side.

Just looked and I can't see any damage or broken wires. Must be something on the holder.

Test it with a multi meter. Could be rusty contacts, mine was that. Check the wiring diagrams. My Offside rear light wouldn't work because the numberplate light wiring had frayed and wasn't working. And they're on the same circuit.

If trying a new bulb holder doesnt work then the wire is broken between the 2 lights. I had this on my first corsa, It goes from one light at the bact to the numberplate light to the other sidelight
