Hey guys, I tried searching a little but wasn't sure what exactly to search Im sure someone has had this problem before!.

So my problem is that my passenger side headlight doesn't work (park does thou). So i've done the normal stuff eg: changing fuse, checking the connection replacing the globe.

The funny thing is that when the normal globe is in there and i flick my high beem on, the light works, but not when just normal headlights are switched on.

Can anyone offer any advice? could it be a earth problem? if so where do I know (very limited knowledge of cars lol)

Cheers guy!
Happy Friday!

Aadil.

Could be an earth problem.

I'd say check the plug at the back of your headlight for any corrosion.

hey cheers for the reply

sorry for the late response.. (working at night etc).

i had a look this morning the cables seem fine.. i couldnt find any corrosion on the back at all.

also the headlight in question had just been replaced (the full head light) other ones bracket broken in an accident and was replaced by a crash repairer.

Umm very weird issue.

each headlight has their own fuse/circuit breaker

Yeah it did. Before The parker had a issue and that kept stopping.. but I think that was coz just the tab that was being gay. it works not.

Yeah in the engine bay? the 20V fuses? I checked them both.. the parker still works. just the normal beem doesnt.
