...But first you must troubleshoot.

From the battery to the bulbs, the ciruits go all the way there.

Simalar to any circuit of connections...at one place, the circuit is broken or "open" (same thing)



Check the fuses first.


Rare for all the bulbs to blow but you must follow the circuit path until the electcity stops.


I suspect a fuse and/or relay.

Go to fuse box. Flashlight in hand.

I doubt it's a fuse. A relay seems more likely, especially if those lights use the same relay in the cluster box under the hood. I'd start there and follow the wires to see where they specifically branch off. Try and find someone with a wiring diagram if you don't have a service manual.
