And you are sure that the bulb itself is not out?

These are electronics safety fuses inside the V6 that could have blown because your car had a voltage spike. Contact me via PM and I'll tell you what you could try out.

I think they have been out at least a couple of years

As I took the back of the light off I discovered it was a blown bulb you really can't see from the outside it's almost hidden behind another bulb. Thank for all the help
