Title: Mk4 Astra Side Light Issue
Post by: Omega_Dan on 07 August 2011, 19:20:25
Both of the sidelights on my Best Mates car are not working. Rear lights come on fine. Is there an individual fuse for the sidelights?

Not that I'm aware of. You sure they've not both blown? A couple of years back, SWMBO's Astra G needed just one headlight bulb, by the following morning the other had blown to. Maybe died in sympathy!  ::)  ;D
Replace with known working bulbs & go from there. They're easy enogh to get at.  ;) :y
