    I noticed the night I brought the car home the parking light inside the left headlight was out but figured I would get to it later. Forgot all about it until a buddy told me my right tail light was out the other night. Just checked and both the right tail light and the right rear bumper parking lights are out. Took the inspection panel off and looked at the bulbs, they are not burnt out. Put in a new one I had, no light. Pulled the small bumper bulb and it looks fine too. Opened up the conductors on it a bit, did nothing. All plugs I can see seem fine, signals and brake lights are good. I know the next logical step is to look at power (or lack of), but hoped maybe someone had the same symptoms and it was a plug I overlooked or something..

    That just effects the right rear corner parking lights? I'll look in my manuals to see what runs what, thanks.

    Edit - I looked in the owners manual and I think you are right! It was odd that the left front was out also but take a look at this;

    "Fuse #24 A5 - LH Front and RH Rear dipped lights"

    I'm going to assume #24 is blown, will check tomorrow, thanks!

    Just a follow up as I hate when someone posts an issue and abandons it. As odd as it may be, Fuse #24 controls the right rear (tail light and side marker) and front left (headlight) parking ("Dipper", where did that name come from?) lights. It's a 5A fuse, which I temporarily replaced with a 7.5 (lowest I had) and all works well!

    Thanks again SCKOMS!

    I'm Italian, but apparently not Italian enough! I look at circuits in groups or areas. To think a left front headlight bulb has a relationship with a right rear bulb is reminiscent of my teenage days with an Austin Healey 3000 or a Triumph TR6 Lucas frolic! Next thing I should do is look for Lucas Smoke? :D
