It's much easier check your lights if you get somebody to help you out. First, turn the ignition to first position. You may need the engine running for the lights to work. Then run through this sequence:
- Side lights
- Dipped beams
- Main beam
- Fog lights
- Front indicators, left and right
- Brake lights
- Reversing lights
- Rear indicators, left and right
- Hazard lights
If any of your lights aren't working properly make sure you have them replaced immediately.
If you experience car faults, warnings or failures, find a local mechanic across the UK
