Red face Sidelights on blobeye not working

Hi guys,

Ggot a quick question.
Today i completed the detango mod (what a nightmare) and since i refitted the lights , my sidelights are not functioning at all.

I checked the side light bulbs and they appear to be blown, being slightly black at the top of lens. I am hoping they have only blown.

The rear lights are working fine on the car and all other lights are ok.

Is there a specific fuse for front side lights which imay have blown???

Cheers guys

No they do not have separate fuses for front and back, fuse e.g: LH, fuse for R/H. Some manufactures have them diagonally say fuse L/H front & R/H rear
Never front and rear.

It's not unknown for both bulbs to go within hours of each other...think about it, they werefitted at the same time and have been used for the same time.

Also, when a bulb blows, it can cause a voltage spike, which takes the other one out too.
That's very common on AC due to the sinusoidal waveform, but not so common on DC.
