[Paul555RA]

As above it went when i was putting in the bonnet pins i thought it was the bulb put a new one in today and its still not working checked all the fuses and there ok the one on the other side is still working so im not sure whats going on i dont know anything bout car electrics so not sure what it could be
any ideas??

You,ve knocked something loose,check around where you bolted the bonnet pins.

Cant see anything around there it was working when i had the lights out but whatever happened it happened as i was putting the lights back together i had to take them out to drill through the beam above the put the bolts in

might sound daft but could the other bulb have been blown as-well. Failing that check all connections again.

i dont think so the filament looks ok there is a mass of wires behind the light that i cant make head nor tail of

electrical faults are hard to diagnose, try looking at the other light and make sure there a mirror image of each other.

the wires are different on either side i tried that too but i think before the car came over from japan there was more lights on it and god knows what else there is a rake of wires that i dont know what there from

how hard would it be to re wire just that light cos ive no idea whats going on with the wires in behind it
