Default right side running lights question

96 xj12 - I've been going thru the car familiarizing myself and have an issue with none of the right side running lights (front, side, rear) working, I've checked for power with a test light grounded at battery in the rear and checked the 5 amp fuses in the trunk fusebox, all good.
Looking at page 87 of the electrical guide I see power originating from body processor module/lighting control. Are there any other fuses power might be broken by in this circuit? I'm trying to identify a short but haven't found a power supply yet!
Cheers

There are 4 connectors under the car in the corners that the lights run through that get corroded

They can be cleaned or replaced

They are the same as the Papa Indy 1 connectors in the engine bay

The bulbs in the sockets have a tabs that can be bent out for better contact

They changed the wiring on the lights between 95 and 96 so there was a fuse size upgrade i think on this circuit

Fuse F18 right side engine bay had a 5 amp fuse that was blown instead of the correct 10 amp fuse for the benefit of any future searchers

Problem solved except the front right running light bulb is out, do I just remove the air filter and feed to access that bulb? Looks like the only way to it.

Slide the lens fwd or aft then push in on the fwd or aft edge and it will rotate out of the bumper

Might be a pull
