Can you put a voltage meter on to see if there is any power to the contacts? If not you could trace the feed back to the fuse to see that its not blown?  :wink:

Sounds silly but you could try turning the bulb 180 and putting it back in.

Worked for me when installing mine

Is the light controlled by the door switch as the door opens? Could it be the switch is not making contact and opening the circuit?

After reading this reply I had to check as my light was not working either? I took the cover lens off and found in the front of the car and found no bulb, just the two map light spots. Then the penny dropped, you were on about the rear set of lights  :rolleye:
