not to happy about it but carolines supra failed its MOT today for the sidelights not being bright enough , they were some poxy LED ones and fair enough they werent great but when we tried some normal bulbs in they failed to work so i think it needs some new bulb holders , one of the number plate bulbs had gone too but that was an easy fix but these bulb holders on the front dont want to play at all :(

 

do toyota normally keep these in stock as if i can prove that they work tomorrow they will pass it free of charge

In theory, as long as they are both as bright as each other it should be fine... But ask the tester to show you in the testers manual what is defined as bright enough!!

Are they facelift? I don't think the pre-facelifts unplug, do they? Best of it is I'm sure I have a couple of these somewhere. I wouldn't for the life of me know where, and clearly they are no use to you being up here, I just found it typical though :)

i know but they arnt

 

must just be a bad conection or something

 

Or bulbs that don't work. Have you checked the bulbs?

 

You have to look at this logically and not overlook simple steps. If one bulb works, the connection is good.... they should all work.

 

Have you tried swapping the LED's over to see if the light stays dimmer at the same side, this would maybe go part of the way to explaining why a normal bulb wouldn't work, low power for some reason. Very unlikely though.

right guys just been over the hanger (so i am not lying down in the wet) and OMG its like spaghetti junction behind the bumper the is loads of wire coiled up and cable tied, the wires have been joined with the stuff i normally see behind walls in houses with the 2 screws on them, anyway brand new bulbs and the wiring tidyed up a little and still no light
