Both my lamps are out, After looking at the fuse FAQ i can't find a relevant fuse. Any ideas? It's a phase 1, many thanks

Thanks Andy, yes i guess so. Yes the sidelights do work.....hmm looks like a wiring problem then. The wires will hopefully run inside the boot near the lock i guess

They are plugged into the passenger side rear light, make sure the connector hasn't fallen out etc

change the bulbs first, its a possibility that they have both blown
when did you last notice them both working?
maybe one has been gone a while and you didnt notice,and now the other has gone it mnakes it seem like its a problem.
ive had both headlamp bulbs go at once before, after scratching my head for a few hours i changed the bulbs and they worked

Done it, yes you could say it was a wiring issue.....

Turns out the white wire had been wrapped around the green one which had been stripped just enough to get to bare wire, and it had come off....

Also the yellow wire's attached to the green one!

What's going on there? Wiring into a Live? Haven't a clue how electrics work tbh!
