Q: Faulty brake lights in a Hyundai Getz
The left and right brake lights have both stopped working on my '08 hyundai getz, however the central brake light still works, does this indicate that I need to replace the globes or since they both stopped at the same time would this indicate a brake light switch?
My car has a manual transmission.
