According to my Haynes manual the sidelight fuse (10 amps) is F19 in the engine fuse box. The running lights fuses are F22 (15 amp) and F14 (10 amps).

LH sidelights fuse (7.5 amps) is F47 in the central fuse box, RH sidelights fuse is F48.

If you need other fuse numbers then just ask.

Hello. Thanks for that but i have checked all fuses and all are ok, but still no side lights the chime has gone aswell as the instrument lights. i find it odd that both sides are out whenyou have 2 fuses one for each side.where is the central timer fitted.
has it been known that the main light switch to burn a contact when the short took place in the side light position. Thanks Again.

I would suggest check fuse #32 in the cabin fusebox (behind glove box).This is the main 10a (red fuse ) for the lighting.I think you will find this located 3rd from the left,top row.hth
