Check for corroded terminals in the bulb holders themselves.

You say you have checked earth. How exactly, step by step did you do that
Have you checked that there is not +12v at the bulb holder when lights are switched on? If so how exactly did you do that?
A lot of people have volt meters but don't know the simple traps that untrained use mean you fall into and the false diagnosis that can cause. Tell me, step by step how you have done the test.

Hi bilsy, what engine, and year is your car, (multiplex or preplex) reason i ask is my car, tail and front side lights do not have a fuse as such, in that it can blow something in the engine bsi a resister i think, as a auto elec had to sort my bsi out, was looking for fuses for ages without sucess.
