Default Tailight Globes: AUII Wagon

Hi all!

Got a slight problem... sort of.

Had the car serviced in June and one of the tailight globes was out (from my parent's slamming of the tailgate................) so we asked the mechanic to change the globe as well.
Today when I was following the wagon home in the BAII today, and at first I thought the globe was out again! But no! It's actually just a really dim globe! I noticed it was a bit dimmer during my practice photoshoot of the car with the headlights on, but it's even more noticeable with the brakes on!
Obviously this isn't the right globe at all, so what is?

Cheers

Chris

is could have a bad earth, or dirty contacts where the globes' terminals touch?
or a possibly a dodgy globe?

Somebody put in a 24v globe instead of a 12v. go change it for the right one. A phillips head screwdriver and 5 minutes will see it sorted.
