when my side lights on my the front indicators are also lit,the indiators function normally.i was thinking it was an earth problem but other lights dont seem to be affeted.im very new to jap cars and mine is an import.i understand this would be a mot failure?any ideas thanks

a place to start is the drivers side kick panel, check the wiring behind there for corrosion (due to water leak from taga runoff pipe) and check the fuses there as well.

will do mate,thanks
