    It depends on the brand and model of the car

    On a right hand drive car it’ll be either on the ��drivers passenger side only or on both sides.

    The only exception I can think to this recently is the Daihatsu Sirion around 20 years ago.

    Ok guys im confused now someone said driverside and someone else said passenger side.

    I failed my nct over it amongst a few others.
    I checked my fuse because the filanent in the bulb is fine . Il check bulb again maybe replace it . I just hope its not a broken wire

    Does your car have parking sensors?

    That’s good. Maybe it’s just two blown bulbs so.

    I hope so .
    Are the lights on the same circuit as the sensors or something ?

    They’d both be controlled off the reverse light switch on the gearbox, which would have been a possibility if both were gone. First step is change the bulbs either way.
