Default Brake Light/running Light Out

What kind of light is this? (pic). I'm at work, so I can't dig too deep into this, but both filaments look good. Strange that both would be out all the sudden.

Pulled the light a few times and now it works. Must have been a contact issue. Also, I see it's staying on all the time unless I push the front brake lever all the way out... have to look into adjusting that tonight...

I sort of have the same problem. When I brake the front brake lever, the stop light does not come on, but comes on when I brake with the rear brake pedal.

Weird ??

Changed my Levers today and although my Fronts been Buggered for a while (Stop Light Switch).

When I finished and checked my work, No Brake Light from Rear !!

The rear has always worked independent of the front, right ??

^^ The front and rear brake lights are independant of each other. Kind of works like your 3way switch for your dining room lights (a light switch at each end of the room).

I've found that I have lost me nipple! That little tit that sits on the front brake light switch. Who knows how long it's been gone and how long I've been running with my rear brake light on all the time. Geesh. Anyway, I've patched it up with the strongest thing known to man: A Lego bit. Shaved the bump off and glued it into place and we'll see how long it lasts.

Thanks for that.
I did get my Rear Brake back, kinda more of a Brain Fart then anything else.

I kinda, sorta, unpropurpose keep my fronts off. Mostly to scrub speed without alerting the rear.

From the looks of your photo it should work.
