As the title says!
I went to fit my new Philips BlueVision sidelights this evening and the driver's side is dead - yet the passenger side is fine. I put the original good bulb in and that one won't work now either. :speechles
Having tried wiggling the wires around on the dead side's socket hasn't helped - everything is as tight as you'd expect.
Any ideas, please?
All my other lights work - main beam, dipped beam, fogs - no problem.

You checked the fuse Phil? I think there's one per side?

Ah ha! Didn't know there were left and right fuses! Thanks Kieran! :happy:
Looking at the owner's handbook, would it be engine compartment fuses #10 or 11 - they are listed as tail lamps (left) and tail lamps (right)? The icons have a light shining in both directions so that would mean front and rear?

Yeah, I think them's the ones.

Lifesaver! Thank you! Will give it a go tomorrow evening - the rain came down earlier and left me confused as to why one side goes and the other was fine.

If the fuse has popped, I think it knocks out the rear tail lamps, not 100% on that tho - might be useful for a quick check?

You're the man! :pimp2:
You're 100% spot on :afro:
It's knocked my rear tails out on that same side of the car!
Thanks Kieran for sorting this out for me! I never realised the side lights had their own fuse! :happy:
