HELP!!! No sidelights!!

[AS_BO]

So I'm changing my bulbs over and now I've got no number plate lights, rev counter illumination has stopped working and the sidelight symbol has gone from the dash. See pictors......

Cool. Where is it? And does the car have spare fuses or will I need to pick one up??

There's a link to the fuse and relay PDF in the technical section.

Alternatively, just go through them one by one and stumble upon the one you've blown

you stuck in the right bulbs, like double double double sure? i put in the wrong rated bulbs, and it played havoc with my electrical system for a week. luckily i pulled them out when they had a nervous breakdown and not when they had fried everything around them, blew fuses everywhere and almost melted pin connections. got to love cheap ebay bulbs that claim to be for your car, but actually aren't

Thanks Neil, I stumbled across the fuse PDF instead and sussed it. 43 10A for number plate lamps, sidelights and rev counter.

Got it sorted Dave. It was my fault for not checking the connections on the replacement LEDs. I crossed the polarities which blew the fuse. I'll keep an eye on the bulbs though, last thing I want is fried electrics! On a plus note though, I put my Nightbreakers in today and what a difference they've made! Thanks for the speedy responses chaps!

Hmm, polarity being wrong wont of blown the fuse.. Yes the LED will be polarity sensitive, so wont work if swapped. Id go more down the route of you had the sidelights on, and tried installing the LED bulb then the fuse has blown...
