The front amber marker light bulbs on my 2008 XKR do not light up. I've researched a bit and, thus far, cannot find a solution. As both sides do not work, I'm betting there's a fuse that has blown.

I've had the car for only a week and haven't yet had the opportunity to read all there may be to help in finding the problem. Can someone please direct me as to what fuse this may be? Or, is there another problem to consider?

Thanks!

 

Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation is often the correct one. The likely fault is two burned-out bulbs - it happens! But this does not negate the possibility of a fuse issue. To replace the bulbs you must removed the entire light unit - this is not difficult and the instructions are in your owner's manual - the fuse chart is there as well.

 

Thanks for the info...

I have already gone ahead and looked at the owner's manual more thoroughly. I removed the headlights and found that both the marker lights were, in fact, burned out. Strange the both of them were out at the same time, but maybe someone didn't want to go to the trouble of removing them to complete a pretty simple task.

Thanks for your input. Jon.

 

Bulbs have a determined lifespan, which is why we are always advised to replace in pairs rather than singly (and also because light output varies over time).
Your two marker bulbs probably did not burn out at the same time, but likely within months or weeks of one another. See? Occam was right!

 

Well, they're new now!
