Check the switch you use to turn them on... traditionally it burns out & you'll need to wire in a rely to stop it happening.

I have had the same problem since I got this FTO, will be interesting to see what the cause of it is...

By the way, is it your passenger side one that isn't working?

For me I've always just had to give it a tap... hard, from the outside. Sorted all my malfunctioning front light problems :)

Also, you said one of the bulbs blew... try replacing it, that might possibly fix your problem, maybe :wink:

If i've misread your post and you actually have replaced it but it's still not working then you need to get your hands on a multimeter and check that the main connection is recieving power.

you sure th bulb is fine? Sometime the fiament might look fine but the bulb is dead.

Switched the bulbs around and see if they work.

Is it bright or dull? You could have a faulty switch and in turn just your parkers are turning on, so it could be your parkers out.

Other than that its a wiring and plug issue.
