lighting issues

hi. I would really appreciate some troubleshooting help with my lights. - I've got a fabia 1.4 16v comfort.

My passanger side brake light and headlight have both gone at the same time. I really have no idea with cars and just thought it a bit strange. is it likely to be the bulbs, or do you think I might have to fart around changing fuses? if so, where is the fuse box?

This car has been nothing but trouble. wish I had kept the old favorit.

I would really appreciate your help.

Cheers

carl

Probably just bulbs. The headlight and brake light will be on different fuses anyway.
If it was a tail light and side light, then that could have been a fuse.

For reference, the fusebox is at the right end of the dash- the door closes against a cover that pulls off.

Good idea to change bulbs on both sides at the same time - they last about same time, so you can expect the others to fail before long.
