if you want ill look at mine later n post up the exact wires i switched around, i kno that for the driverside you have to slice off the 2 little lumps on the clip in wire holder so you can turn it round, so basically there is 2 lil lumps on one side to go into 2 indents in the bulb holders slice these off and turn it so where the lumps used to b are on the other side to the indents in the bulb holders, then its a case of swapping 2 wires each side i believe, as i said if you like ill look later n tell you?

Sorry, just realised you've used it already. I would check the bulbs, make sure the wiring is not loose and has a firm connection..

[[RHS light]]
