have you tried the fuse for that light, its in the fuse box just behind the the light in the engine bay
If it's a globe, replace both. I've just put in a pair of Philips VisonPlus, and they're heaps better than the generic globes, and not too expensive. Most motor accessory stores will stock them (mine came from Autobarn, if you have them up north>)
when u say have u tried the fuse.. what do you actually mean :wacko: to see if its connected properly and that?
Try swapping the LHS & RHS fuses and see if the problem moves with the suspect fuse... ifso, just replace that fuse... if LHS light still not on after fuse swap, then suspect the LHS relay itself (in same fusebox- you can swap with the fan relay in a pinch but don't forget to replace the dead relay at first opportunity)
