Does the main beam light on the dash come on?, should not be a big deal to fix.

Check the basics first it could be something simple, are the bulbs ok? Look at the connections to the lights themselves. My mk2 left main light wasn't working. I had a look at the connection block and it didn't have the metal wire that holds them together properly. So I cleaned the connection and tried it with the other side?s wire which did the job. A garage could have charged me an hour?s work for that.

Mine was blue on the mk2, it just seemed strange that taking the spots off would make both not work  ???
