Did you check the fuses ?
There is one for each side.

 

[cynic-al]

there is an earth cable kicking about the engine bay rite beside the lights,this cud be the culprit eh? i dont see wher it used 2 be connected 2 tho 2 save me drillin another hole? shud the lights cum bak on if i just hold the earth against the car chassis to see if that is wot the problem is? or does it hav 2 be connected properly? cheers guys

 

[Sven]

The earth wires are black, if you have found such a wire put it anywhere on the chassis or the engine block - if the lights go on, you have found the problem.
BTW the rear lights have there own earth, so they should work I think.

noooo!, typical! - just wot buzz has bin postin about,but my windows wipers are fine and one side of my lights/indicators are ok,or does this make no difference?

 

[Sven]

Try feading a new earth to the head light and check if there is current on the connectors. BTW - this may sound stupid, but change the fuses with new ones (both of them) and press the connectors on the back of the fuse panel a bit.
