Front sidelights stopped working

[JP83]

Bit of an odd one. Both my front sidelights stopped working yesterday.

Rear lights still come on, low beams, high beams all work. Just not the front sidelights.

All worked fine for a good few months. Is there a fuse for them?

There is a fuse for each side front in the under bonnet fuse box .

There is a fuse for each side front in the under bonnet fuse box .

Is that the same on the mk3?

Its the mk 3 I am talking about ,so yes in the box with the 2 t25 screws beside the battery

Cool, will take a look.

I had a look this morning, and the number plate bulbs aren't working either.

My driver's side sidelight did come on briefly (about a second!), before going off again. Did that twice.

Bloody hell, who's idea was it to put that fuse box there? Can't get at the fricking thing!

Sorted. I don't know whether one bulb caused them all to fail, but I ended up changing the 2 sidelights and number plate bulbs back to standard and they're working now. The 2 led bulbs I used for the number player almost looked scorched. Reckon the wet had got in and toasted them.
