both front side lights dont work, but rear lights do??

[fatmikey]

I need some help! I had a problem earlier in the week where the OS dipped beam wasnt working, the NS was & so was both the side lights,
it turned out to be water in the headlight, so I took the headlight out, dismantled it & dried it out
I went to fit it tonight & luckily no control units has been fried & both dipped beams worked
but now both side lights dont work

Does anyone have any ideas or things for me to check?

Ive checked the OS bulb & it looks ok, Ive checked all three fuses related to the lights & again they are all ok.
The rear lights all work, its just the front side lights

Has anyone got access to a wiring diagram for these lights?

Thanks

Mike

The Wiring Diagram System (WDS) is at http://www.bmw-planet.com/diagrams/release/en/index.htm.

Navigation is perplexing at first, once you're used to that, the only bad part is zooming in so you can read the information, then the ridiculous scrolling to avoid zooming back out.

Have you checked for power across the lamp terminals when the lights are switched on?

just checked the wiring diagrams & im unsure if they are going to be any use to me as they all say LHD

AlanJ ive not got that far yet, was dark friday night when I found this out. Will be the next thing to try

I fairly certain the vast majority of LHD wiring applies equally to RHD. I've participated in many electrical threads on here and have yet to see a discrepancy due to RHD vs. LHD. Not a bad idea to keep in mind that you might just happen to find a rare discrepancy though.
