Check the fuse, check the bulbs, check the switch at the brake pedal, check wiring is what I’d do in that order.

when you check the fuse, also check for 12 volts.

That is where I would start - check the fuse box and if that is good, take a volt meter, take the lens off and see if you have 12 volts to your light (or something very near 12). If your fuse is good and you do not have voltage, you may have a wiring problem...

Default Ls7

Good morning Scott.

I am considering an ls7 swap in my c3 vette. I had some questions for you.

Is there an easy way to email you?

Thanks,
David
