Left and right full beam have separate fuses and if the full beam fuse is blown the symptoms u describe would happen... Check the fuses 1st and let us know...
Hope this helps,
Dan

time to get a multimeter! check for 12v between the high beam pin on the headlight plug and the battery -ve, and then check for continuity to ground between the brown wire on the headlight plug and the battery -ve.

I had the same issue on mine but I just put in an uprated loom as I wanted the headlights to be better anyway and this got round the issue...(couldt find out what the problem was)

I know thats not really the answer to your question but it is one of the best mods I've done on the car, really improving the headlights so I just thought I'd mention it.

Fire a post up if you do work out what was wrong tho....be interesting to know.
