Wiggle it with a mate holding down the brake peddle. If it lights up, there's a loose connection there.

If they're all off, inspect the earth point on the body, the one where all the wires are grouped and attached by ring terminals. The earths are notoriously poor on 300 rear lights.

When I took my 440 jumping in Shields all the bulbs physically came out of the holders which was quite funny.
