Any non-standard parts that might be involved with the problem?

[Sagey]

dodgey fusebox? have you power from both sides of fuse?

[bmcecosse]

Perhaps blown fuse (despite having been replaced) or bad connection in the sidelight circuit - and/or bad earths where they are 'dimp' [sic] ??

theres loads of bullet connectors by the slam panel, take ya grill off and youll see em! got to do mine today, clean them all!
they go thru your inner wing up to the lights and from the drivers light up to thru the bulkhead to the switch

ive just had a new front end welded on and the guy who did the welding just pulled all the bullet connectors off and now i dont know where they go

[leroy26]

basicly match all your colours up, red to red blue/white to blue/white etc you should have two wires going in to the connector from the drivers side and one coming out.
