my side lights dont want to work ive got new bulb but still nothing is there a fuse for them? the headlight works fine tho its a 97 classic thanks

 

Bump

 

Have u checked fuses underneath the fog switches,pull down the coin holder and you will see them,and there's some in engine bay too.

 

is that for a 97 pre facelift?

 

I think so too.

 

Ive had the fuses at the accelorator amd under the bonnet and there all fine

 

Are they LEDs?!

If so, they often blow. I've fitted 2 different styles now, and both have blown (abeit not straight away).

Got fed up and still have OEM crappy 'yellow' filament jobs in.

 

Sounds daft but have you tried 'wiggling' them when in position,Had the same prob on mine & when I moved them around a bit they came on.There is only a little strip of metal for them to make contact.Worth a try.

 

+1 to the above, too.

 

there brand new leds mate and theres nothing both sides i need to sort as mot was due 4 days ago

 

LEDs are polarity sensitive, are they the right way round?

 

Beat me to it: can they be fitted the other way?

 

can they i dunno will have a look

 

Make sure you buy a set of blue regular filament jobs for the MOT (cheap as hell) - unless you still have the originals.
Ain't worth it failing over bloomin' sidelights. Then when it passes, you can fanny around with the LEDs after.

In the meantime temporarily refit filament ones anyway as test - as it'll tell you whether any fuses have blown or not. If they light okay, then you have issues with the LEDs or their polarity, as mentioned.

 

Above is good advice.

Except that I got told by PC PLod to lose my blue sidelights

 

Thing is, the blue filament sidelights aren't all that blue! (Or even a neutral white!)

OEM clear filament bulbs = pretty much a very 'warm' yellow

Aftermarket 'blue' filament bulbs = nearer to yellow (a sort of yellow-white), rather than a 'cold' blue-white!

 

all working now they needed a wiggle lol

 

LOL.

When I got my VOSA pull, he had me look at the sidelights, and then asked me what colour they were.
The only HONEST answer I could give was blue

 

my leds soo look bluey bright white look good tho

 

Yeah, LEDs do what they say on the tin.

Well done OP, for sorting it.
