If the lamps are orange those are the direction indicators.

The front position lamps are clear and depending upon the model and type of headlamp fitted are either 5W 501 capless mounted in the dipped beam reflector or in the case of Bi-xenon headlights they are located next to the indicator bulb holder fitting into their own "compartment section", yours may have LEDs.

If you use the link below Auto Bulbs Direct it will tell you which lamp you need

you mean those right at the rear end on the side of the headlamp? you usually have to remove what is in the way to get at them from the hole in the wing under the bonnet . It is a separate bulb holder NOT behind the cover where the other bulbs are .. Did you get the indicator bulb out mistakenly ?

if you want to give the lights a thorough check the front bumper and lights can come off fairly easy...

They are not the directional bulbs as they are in the wing mirrors on my car the manual of the car calls the position lamps I've got them on the the rear and the front on the sides of the unit rears are red front are orange but clear bulb

No the indicator bulb is a much larger bulb the one next to the indicator is the one I'm having the trouble with

My bad just checked manual again they are called side marker lamps but can find no info on fuse location in manual

barrybritcher · Nov 13th, 2019, 01:34

they are probably blown bulbs - both mine were

Yes they were blown I found them not to bad to get back in but new bulbs won't come on either
