Nearside Side+Headlight not working

[brumgav]

Hi,

Noticed last night that nearside lights arent working, so have checked the fuses behind the glovebox but can't see any problems...even swapped the fuses for near side with off side but still no joy.

Indicator works and so does main beam. I took the headlight housing out and removed the headlight and it looked perfect. no blown filament. I didnt get the sidelight out as it was really fiddly.

Could it be that a blown sidelight would cause a break in the circuit which stops the headlight from working?

Hope someone can offer advice.

Regards,

Gavin

Just to let you know, its all fixed. Replaced sidelights on both sides as they had both blown when i came to check this morning and also one headlight.

And to answer my own questions main headlight isn't dependant on sidelight bulbs being in working order.
