How do you KNOW the fuses and bulbs are OK?

The reason I ask is because I have seen both that LOOKED OK, but on electrically testing them, they were dud.

IF they are OK, then a circuit tester/multimeter is useful to test for power to the bulbs, and also the mutimeter for a decent earth.

If one of those is the culprit, then it's down to tracing circuits until you find the problem.

Incidentally, you don't say if it's ALL the lights, or just the rear sidelights that don't work?

No back ones? So.........no brake lights, no indicators, no reversing lights, no fog lights?

Both sides? Sounds like a serious wiring fault

And no FRONT sidelights? I'd suspect a fuse. Find out which one it is, remove it and replace it with a known good one.
