Well that narrows it down. Have you checked that there is 12v at the bulb?

I don't know about the front brake leaver but the rear brake should have a spring that activates the switch to the brake light maybe it's missing?

Ride with your lights on then... even during the day! It's safer. Smile

Very rarely will you see a biker in the UK without his lights on in daylight. Well, except for me at the moment, as I don't have any lights! I'm sorting a way to retify that though, with a super-bright LED marker light to hide in the nose a little like a camera on the GP bikes.

Better to be seen than sorry.

you need 12v one side and earth the other, so there's gotta be 12v at some point!
