Gutted, it never fails but it just failed the MOT on rear fog light.

Tried new bulb while at the centre but no joy. Head Lights on switch illuminates but no joy. Before getting home after work and gripping the Bibile, does anyone know if this is on a fuse?

After much banghead on this the problem has been sorted clap!!

Took out the rear fog light fiiting and fitted new bulb but still no joy confused. However by chance when moving the wires it flickered on and off irked.

Seemed like the problem lay inside the rubber sleeve on the light unit itslef. So drilled out the rivets and withdrew the bulb holder. Eureka cloud9 there was the bullet connector and wire slipped out of its holder. Pushed back in, making sure a tight fit re rivet holder into housing screw back on to light unit and biglaugh working.

Back for MOT re test tomorrow, what a numpty whistle
