Hi I have a 2014 mazda bt50 and I'm having trouble woth my tail lights. On one side the tail light and indicator doesn't work but the brake light does. Brake light is a dual filament globe and both are fine.
And on the other side the indicator and tail light work but the brake light doesn't and all filaments are fine. I switched all the globe to make sure that wasn't the problem but still thr same issue does anyone know what might cause this.
Thanks
 
Welcome to the forum.

There are two different patterns of bayonet studs on the dual filament bulbs. It may be worth checking you have the correct ones.
 
I'd suspect corrosion of the circuit board that the lights are fitted into.
 
When vehicle rear lights start doing peculiar things, check out the negative connections and wiring to the chassis which are common to more than one light.
Use a flylead with one end connected to chassis or battery negative, and temporarily connect the other end to the earthing connection on the lamp clusters.
