When I got my 91, both the bulbs were bad.

Check and make sure the wires are plugged in. A lot of us will unplug them at shows and forget to hook them back up. On my '94 the plugs are in the nose (one on each side) about a foot from the wheel well were it starts curving towards the front.

I just pull the fuse. It's easy to get to right next to the vacuum canister.

Provided they are plugged in, check the connection at the bottom of the inner bumper. Lots of water gets in there and can corrode the connection.

I had the same problem. After a month of trying to figure out the problem I finally looked closely and they weren't plugged in. Duuuh! :crazy:

There are some mercury switches....check those out. Also, maybe a previous owner might have install the after market kit that turns the lamps off when the hood is raised. Just a shot in the dark. Good luck. :flag
