Glow is gone and bulb sensor only comes on when in reverse.
Glad you got it sorted..
Just a quick follow up reference note.. If you have the "glow".. put the car in reverse gear to turn them on.. if the resistor doesn't warm up.. you are not making contact.
Sorry didn't have that advice at the start.. it just dawned on me as a good way to check..
