Default side light bulb help please!

can anyone help shed some light, no pun intended, on my problem with my s1 rs turbo.

today i noticed that my offside front side light buld was out.

i then put the nearside side light bulb in the offside light socket just to check that it was deffinetly the bulb that had blown as i knew the near side bulb worked.

put it in and nothing, put it back in the nearside and now that doesnt work?

i know that the bulb is fine as i wired it up and tested it off the battery and it came on.

i have checked the fuses and they are fine.

any one have any ideas? next thing to do i supose would be to renew the cable that goes to the spades on the holder.

strange as they have always worked up untill today?

cheers

Likely to just be corrosion on the contacts or bulb holders, probe the wires first to see if live or dead.
