Default Urgent help please with classic lights (don't work)

Hi I was away at the weekend and went to try my headlights to show my mate my HID bulbs, and the sidelights wern't working, the LED type, had a quick look at the back lights and they were also not on, the headlights were working as normal though, when you turn the light switch inside it dims the clock a relay clicks and the lights come on on the dash,
tried all the fuses and all o.k.

Any help please people

Regards

Chris

have you tried the led lights before or was this the first time ive heard of leds not working on certain cars as the polaritys are different, try turning them see if that helps.

I would do fuse check, then relay check then bulb check. If its still playing up get a multimeter and check the feed.
