Sounds like a bad ground.  If I recall correctly the taillight grounds to the 
body, does not have a separate ground wire back there. Clean the area where the 
housing touches the body and re-tighten the screw.

Subject: [vintagvw] 67 tail light help


Hi,
I have a 67 bug with a problem tail light.

It is the right hand side and here is what is happening;
Press brakes = light works, but is not as bright as the left side
Headlights on = all is good
Headlights on and press brakes = light goes out

Both rear turn signals work fine.

I have checked and replaced the bulbs with no change.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob Garretson ☮
