Headlight problem

Postby danh1984 » Mon Jan 06, 2020 6:27 pm

Hi, I can get High beam on, but no main beam, RAC came out for another issue and realised the main beam wasn’t working, he managed to cross the fuses I think to get the main beam working, so bulbs obviously work, could it be the switch?? How easy is to replace?

According to the Haynes book, there are two relays, R36 & R37 which power the lamps. They are in the fusebox near the battery. Not sure which is for dip or main. Four fuses, F15, 16, 17 & 25 for the lamps, again, not sure which one is which. Hope this helps!

I would be suspecting the dip/main beam switch. In the past, I've spent hours messing around with bulbs, fuses and relays, only to find that it was the switch that had failed. I've also had both H/L bulbs fail at the same time, but that was dipped beam.
