The minimal information you have supplied is not condusive to the receipt of an accurate answer. So I'll guess: The wiring is cocked up.

I posted this reply on the other mis-spelt thread:

Hi,
I get the same faults on cars I MOT, it is normally a single filament bulb in a twin holder.
Therefore the 1 foot is bridging the 2 terminals.
Double check yours or swap out with a normal stop/tail and see what happens then.

Hi, just to let everyone know i changed the rear tail/stop light for a normal bulb and it works a treat, just in case anyone else has the same problem with led bulbs. thank you all for your help. Mick.
