Where Did My Sidelights Go...

Recommended Posts

I've just noticed I don't have any sidelights.

Well, I have them, but in option 1 on the stalk, I get dash lights, rear lights and number plate lights, but no front sidelights.

I can't locate the right fuse either to check that...

So er, can anyone tell me where it is or what might've gone a bit weird.

I only noticed this because I was fitting my HID kit earlier, and when looking round the front (before fitting) I noticed there where not any sidelights.

Are the bulbs locked in place?

Yes matey - I've even tried swapping them for a set of LED ones that came free with the HIDs (because they mucked up my order and it was delayed for a few days).

Ok check the fuses then like Chris says both footwells for the boxes but i'm pretty sure there in the drivers. Just 1 thing tho wont the fuses be the same for the headlights as a whole rather than seperate for Side/Dipped/Main?

Short answer: NO.

If you think about it, (which I have just for the first time) if your full beam fuse blew on your way home at night, you would be thankful your dipped beam was not on the same fuse!

:winky:

I've checked the fuseboxes under the footwells and there is nothing of interest there.

The engine bay box has a fair few fuses for headlights... but nothing that seems to refer to just sidelights.

Well, I've checked the fuses as best I can at this hour, and it all checks out.

Next stop... relays?

Silly question, but did you try the LED's both ways? as they only work one way.

A silly question... that was absolutely spot on!

Swapped directions and bang... I have sidelights.

Now as to why the original bulbs where not working... I'll never know.

Legendary mate... thankee! :D

Original bulbs must have had bad connection or just blown. I was gonna suggest that too, it's caught me out once. U'll only let it catch you out once thou!

It's gone rather :offtopic: since the problems solved it doesn't really matter...

I call transport minister. (Zero VED and no speed limits for Lexus drivers anyone?)
