Here you go mate, basically, if you have a 3rd brake light fitted, it needs to work

If you're getting Ford to put it in does it matter that much if it fails? They'll just change it, say it failed because of it and then issue a pass. You don't have to pay for another test if you get any faults rectified without leaving the garage.

Where extra lamps are fitted and there is doubt as to whether they are connected, the benefit of this doubt should be given to the presenter.
