Both parking lights at the front suddenly do not light up (self.mechanicadvice)

The two parking lights in the front of my car suddenly do not light up anymore. It's a 2008 VW Passat B6 Variant.

Possible leads:

  • Fault code: Electrical fault in circuit
  • A multimeter shows that the sockets which fit the parking light do not receive any power - on both sides.

Already checked:

  • The bulbs are okay
  • The fuses are okay
  • The parking lights in the back are okay
  • All other lights are okay

Any advice? Is there anything else a layman could check before sending it to the garage?

Thank you so much for the advice!! This is outside my comfort zone but I've been looking up videos on YouTube, it seems doable!
