Wigs Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 My Boxster has failed its mot because the front side light are not working. When I bought the car it had upgraded front led fog/side lights. The fog setting works fine but the normal side lights are not working on either side. I’ve been told the side light bulbs might not be replaceable which will be a real pain in the backside. With both sides going could there be another reason??

iborguk Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 The side light bulbs are replaceable. Start there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Was the upgrade just bulbs or replacement units? This vid shows bulb replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigs Posted June 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I’m looking at having an auto electrician look at it to see if it’s the units or wiring/switch/fuse etc🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 for what it's worth - I don't think there are any specific fuses - wiring is basically "front bumper loom" through a block connector, back to the front control unit, and the switch is similarly wired, into the front control unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Can you test if there is any power arriving at them? Either no power or both blew at the same time eg due to surge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
