Hi All.. So put back in rear lights of my 1970 west. Everything works, indicators brake lights, but no rear lights. Front ones are on but nothing on back. Would appreciate any suggestions or ideas. The earths seem fine.

Regards

do you have 12V at the connector that comes from the harness? What about a license plate light, does it work? Check the fuses?

If you have both a ground and 12V at the housing then you eith have bad housng(s) or the wrong bulbs in it. On my 1977 the license plate light feeds off the running lights.
