Headlights low beama

Postby Gabandrach76 » Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:25 pm

Both my headlights have gone out on my mk5 transit, checked the fuses and they're OK would this be a relay problem if so which one is it? High beam is fine just low beam

Stupid question - you have checked the bulbs haven't you?

The switch is a likely culprit if bulbs and fuses are good

l have a similar problem, bulbs OK ,main beam OK, dipped beam appears to be of sidelight strength, sidelights appear to be close to dipped beam strength,changed relay no difference beginning to suspect switch,any advice or guidance gratefully appreciated,in the meantime I shall carry on checking around will let you know if I gaffer it or it gaffers me .fraternally yours Johnnymac

If the bulbs are working, then the electrical circuit and multimeter will help solve the problem.
