Have the same fault. Changed the blown fuse and there is light.
Unfortunately the fuse is blown again.
Any ideas?

This might be worth a look

Check behind the front bumper, I seem to remember that the wiring rubs through on a sharp edge and blows the fuse (as it should)

Instructions for removing the bumper are on the forum....somewhere....maybe in the Wiki. Thumbs Up

Have an ARB bumper so it is a major operation.
Have to check what I can inside. It is freezing cold outside.
Will start spraying WD40 on the back of the lights and on the junction on the Right hand side.

Is it worth taking the bulbs out, sticking a continuity tester in the plugs, and seeing if they are shorted that way?
