I Just had a weird experience with me Defender.
Both front park lights suddenly stopped working so I was onto the wiring schematic immediately to sort this out.
After 2 hours checking fuses and all connectors nothing was showing up wrong.
I pulled out both of the bulbs and what a trip, as they both failed left and right together with dirty connections.!
Wow, I am an electronics engineer plus retired mechanic, and have never seen 2 bulbs fail at the exact same time in this way which stumped me at the beginning,
So if you loose both front park lights, just re-solder the Pos center terminal on the back of each bulb, give everything a spray with DWd40, wipe the bulb clean and you are good to go.
