Check the fuses of the main beam, headlights etc - all of them, some are on separate fuses like I suspected, ie: one fuse per side.
Sometimes when one part of the car isn't working, ie: the sidelights, it can be because another related fuse has gone. I'm not saying it is this as it varies car to car but worth checking.
Also note, the fuse arrangement and numbers are completely illogical in the Twingo - I had one go a year ago and to work out what one I needed out - number 23 or something - I had to removed 90% of the fuses to figure out where number 23 was as my fusebox is completely unnumbered. SO you may think you have checked 15 but might not have. At least it's like that in my "experiment" 133 lol

hi mate there are the fuses inside the car- if u have checked all of them and they are fine then under your bonnet you have a computer called the upc, there are lots of fuses in this that control all the lights.
there is a red 10amp fuse that will prob have blown causing your lights prob.
havnt been under a twingo rs for a while but from memory it will be the black box at the right hand side back of your engine bay as you look at the car

thinking about it i seem to remeber that your upc(computer with fuses) is under a black cover behind the battery on the rs??
if u take the black cover off it should show u all the fuses on the inside of it.
is ur car in warranty? as on some of the models u have to take the computer out so may b best booking it in?(if it is that)
where are u based mate?

I never got any sort of drawing/layout of the glovebox fuses with my car :/
Damn pain, cus when my cigarette lighter stopped working I had to pull all the damn fuses out till I found which one had blown.
Cheers Renalt Lol.
