Hi Guys,
I am getting a error message on dash saying the drivers side side light has failed. I have changed the bulb and its still not working, have the MOT booked in next week and they are F**kers for failing bulbs. Any ideas?

Thanks
Luke

A warning light for a blown bulb wont fail an mot and the tester will see that the light is working

Sorry, didn't read that bit. Check and see if the light is getting power with a multi meter, check the wiring.

If I remember right, the wiring near the bulb holder has a couple of plugs, just check that they are not corroded

Check the earth point and the bulb holder for corrosion.

Does that mean it's flashing on and off and changing colour to the tune of jingle bells?
