more than 1 fuse for side lights, they are fused each side, 1 for o/s, 1 for n/s, try disconnecting cig lighter from loom, follow cable from socket to below s/wheel & disconnect there, then check all fuses, connectors on back of cig lighter can cause all sorts of lighting probs.

if you've got both front side lamps (side lamps not dim dip) then fuses will be ok, then might be best to check where the loom plugs into the bottom of the fuse box, do all other lights work, anything else strange happening.

Thank you Python but the credit must go to Snoopy who stored them from the 'Russian' site before it was closed. Glad it helped and as Stuart asks can you explain exactly which connector and where it is found for future reference.
