    Does your other side work or are both out?
    Have you got a multimeter? Switch them on and check for a voltage at the terminal (with the bulb removed ;) ). Check your bulb works with a bit of scrap wire connected to the battery

    First thing to check is the relevant fuse, visual check if it's gone or not, then remove it and do a resistance check with a multimeter, check fuse for corrosion which could stop current from passing through.
  • I'm pretty sure they are the right bulbs, and they work (I've tried two new ones straight out of the pack and neither worked, although both look to be intact). I'll have another search for the fuse, if I can find my manual...
