Its probably either the switch on the steering column to put the full beams on (most likely) or the main light switch on the dash.  :nerd:

I've had this problem a few times over the years and its always come back to one of these, you can take the steering column one off and give the copper terminals a good clean and check them for damage but if its the main switch you'll need a replacement - they're not too much, about £15-£20  :smug:

Have you got a bulb/circuit/voltage tester?

heres a highly technical drawing of the terminal, check your getting power from all the terminals, i cant remember which way round they are but the two +'s are for the main & dipped beams with the other being a common ground - all you can really do now is start there and work back til you find it and hope you dont end up at the fusebox, car electrics are a real pain in the rr's
