They're controlled by the CPH Stewart...

Their wiring runs down under the passenger footwell and this can become very wet due to a failed windscreen scuttle panel seal. There is a big connector that can start swimming down there due to the damp and that sets in corrosion and all sorts of electrical funnies..

Worth a check...

Solved, carpet was nice and dry, bought new bulbs and sprayed holders with contact cleaner, Bingo.

Both on the bulbs and carpet!
