      Have you tried disconnecting the battery for about 30 mins? See if that will reset whatever the fault is.

          Has someone changed the bulb to L.E.D type (make sure the correct wattage is fitted) Sometimes L.E.D bulbs don't draw enough current to work with modern electronics, what one finds they illuminate but not at full brightness when switch is off, I see this quite often on trucks that we fit L.E.D lights to.

              No LEDs... the car is just standard as it rolled off the production line...
              Unfortunately nothing I seem to do does the trick. I’ve messed around with just about everything I dare to, everytime
              I’ve pulled a wire trying to follow the light cables ive had visions of the air bags going off. Haha.
              Think it might be time to admit defeat and fork out to have someone else fix the problem.
              I just hope they can find it because it doesn’t seem to be a common problem as can’t find answers anywhere.

              I can’t afford dealer prices either. Eeek.

              I’m assuming there’s a DRL unit somewhere?
              Could a fault with that be affecting the the rear sidelight also? As both are effected, not just the front...

              Thanks for all the input. I’ll let you know what they come up with at the garage, probably in a week or so when I get paid haha.

                Must be a really or control box that's causing them to be permanent live.
                Have you tried searching other Vauxhall models to see if you can get some more ideas.?

                  I still say it’s got to be worth disconnecting the battery for 30 mins.

                    I’m not hopeful, will try this tonight.
                    It has drained the battery that’s how I found the problem in the first place....

                    Would battery draining not be the same?

                    Either way I’m about ready to sell my soul for the solution. So let’s give it a shot

                      Sometimes it might reset something. You never know.

                        Don't suppose you have a towbar do you, if so I would check the 7 pin socket, it could be back feeding if there is a dodgy connection

                            No tow bar fitted, I’ve checked all the sockets I can think of/know of for loose wires/dodgy connections etc

                              Only thing I can suggest is you pull relays and fuses one at a time till you find which circuit affects it. Then disconnect things on that circuit one at a time. Long drawn out process but you might get lucky

                                So after a long on dirty morning pulling relays and fuses... I’ve found everything... and I mean everything....
                                the only thing that isn’t effected by pulling any of them was the blooming sidelights!

                                I’m on the hunt for an auto electrician....
