Headlight turnsignal sidemarker problem

I have a problem whit the electrical on my car.
The left headlight and right sidemarker light and right turnsignal (you need that in sweden,located behind the sidemarker light on the front fender). They dont work, can they be related in anyway or is it just the bulbs that doesnt work. I would like to know if its a fuse or anything else that might be broken. If its the bulbs i need to order them so before i do that i hope to find out if its something else that might be wrong.

If the left headlight doesn't work at all than try using a volt meter or test light to check to make sure you have power at the lights.
Another easy test, is to take the light bulbs out of there sockets and try them in the other side.
If they work, you know you have an electrical problem, if they don't, you know you have to order new bulbs.
With the directional and side marker, do any of the lights work?
Again, try using a volt meter or test light to check for voltage, or just try switching the bulbs temporaroly and see what happens.
