OK , when we went looking for where the starters were in this bed , it has none , this is a 220 v , 1996 model bed and she has 2 bulbs in the bench that are not working , could the lamp holders be bad or something else??? HELP??

Then it must have magnetic ballasts and they don't have starters. The ballasts run two lamps each and if one lamp is out it will knock out the one next to it. Only one is bad though and you can find that by process of elimination with other working lamps... If no lamps work in those two positions then the ballast is bad.

A mag ballast will work. Same voltage, same wiring.
