dont think the sidelight would have anything to do with this tbh....go and get a new sidelight bulb(501 bulb iirc) and put it in and if you heater lights come back on wham bam! but im not sure about the light behind the heaters but im sure its not hard 2 check bud

hope this helps

Probably a blown bulb, it is a small wedge type bulb.

T5 bulbs aka 286 i think. I replaced mine with a led version when mine went.

I think these are the correct ones, also available in halfords but the normal bulb version.

Ive got the same problem, i think the bulbs loose as sometimes it works and sometimes it dont, or it will flicker on and off...really annoying. Havnt had the time to have a look at it yet but shouldnt be that hard to change...
