Narrative:

Landing gear was selected down; but down and locked lights for the left main gear failed to illuminate. The lights were tested and found to be working. The gear unsafe lights were not illuminated. We followed our checklist then declared an emergency; landed safely; and shut down the engines. Deplaned the passenger and were towed to the gate. We had conflicting information from the gear lights; so we had to assume that the gear was not locked down.
