Technical Check Running lights

[GlasgowPunto]

Newbie owner of a delivery mileage Grande Punto for a few months. I've had an error message flashing saying Check Running lights, and indeed my front left running light is out. Thing is the bulb seems fine, and even when I replace it, it's still not lighting.

Do you need to replace more than one blub when you see this message?

Sorry if my query sounds silly, don't want to look thick at the garage!

Check the running light bulb on the other side hasnt gone as well & be CERTAIN you have the correct bulbs....

Thanks Ffoxy, the light on other side lights fine, and definitely have the correct bulb.

I swapped the bulb from the good side over the non working one and still no joy.

So what bulb was in the "good" side? I had both mine go at the same time just the once about 2 years ago...

So if you're sure the bulbs are fine then it has to be the bulb holder, a poor earth or voltage to the bulb missing....
