Title: Headlight Issue
Post by: eamonnism on 13 August 2012, 21:19

Got the mot next month and now I have no headlights!
I have sidelights, but no dipped or main beam. It doesn't flash on the stalk either and the main beam light doesn't come on on the dash.

I've checked the fuses, changed the wiring loom, changed bulbs, tried both single and dual chamber headlights.
Next I'm gonna check the headlight switch but I'm not too sure how to do that without breaking stuff.  :embarassed:

What to do?

Headlight switch wise I'd just get another one (either scrapper of one off a mate you know works) and whack that it. Only held in on clips.

Have you got power at the bulb connectors?

I'll find my multimeter and check later
I still have sidelights though, so I should think so.
