Put some new LED headlight bulbs in,work great but the day after the passenger side,sidelights stopped working any ideas?could it be a bad earth the one on each sidelight or something else!

have you done a diagnostic with a meter, or 12v tester?

I suspect it is coincidence.

Some diagnostic work is in order but if you put in a 55W bulb on a circuit designed for 100W you are decreasing load and reducing the chance of problems.

Logically, if the problem were the LED bulbs then it should have caused both side to blow?

have you checked for a 12v supply at the connections, or just checked that they are connected?
