Cheers

Oh and before the first person says change the bulbs I've already done that, and it's both near side and offside

Cheers

Had a issue like that on my wife's classic a few years back.

A bulb went so went and got one from halfords. A week later the lights packed up at the back.

Looking at the replacement bulb the solder was ****e making a poor contact and the blowing the fuse.
