Howdy, im new to the group and I really need some help. The passenger side headlights are completely dead on my 2018 tipo station wagon. I originally thought it was just a failed bulb and once I went to change that I realised the side light was also dead. I've changed them both and theyre both dead. Is there a fuse that controls the passenger lights? The DRL are sitll working perfectly and so are the front fog lights. I've checked all the fuses in can find, im hoping I've missed something

Thanks in advance

Hello, first of all, check if there is voltage on the connectors, further try another bulb if there is voltage, front and backside suppose to have different fuses, try also if high beam works. I once had a problem with 2 bulbs, which i just changed one day before, lost a lot of time, at the end of the story both bulbs had to be replaced,

Side lights may well have separate L & R fuses. Most electrical devicesxare controlled by the ecu so wiggling the plug sympathetically might just restore it. Check harness plugs under the bonnet. spray contact cleaner may help if they have been wet. Im unaware of any easy fixes. Sytematic checking through iss needed. An antomotive electrician might be the best if your not experienced and well equipped.

The bulbs are both fine and brand new, the first thing I did was test them directly on a separate 12v battery as I was very confused when I first tried to install them.
I do need to check there is voltage across the pins though, I haven't checked that. As both bulbs were affected I thought it was a fuse but finding any info on this model is proving difficult
