Lights not working

[Redy]

Hey ppl

as the title says my headlights do not work, my parkers do but not headlights or high-beam, tried new bulbs and fuses still no go, also when i put my foot on the break, my light near the number plate goes on aswell =\ not sure if my parkers go on or not will have to check, just trying to see if i can get it fixed b4 taking it to a auto elec as they cost a lil bit lol

cheers.

This sounds like one of those electrical mysteries that could be caused by about a million different things. Happens alot in mine You could check to see if power is getting to the bulbs first? Have you checked all fuses and relays?

No idea about the license plate, my brothers lancer does the same thing, except its his headlights that come on when he breaks haha

foot brake is a bad rear earth thats easy, earth your tail light harness to the body, - solved.

light, have you checked fuses?
when you pull the indicator stalk for high beam without the lights on do they light up?

My money is on a headlight switch, check my site for wiring diagrams, pop out the headlight switch andcheck for +12v on the switch if you have it short it out tot he pole for the low beam if it works you need a headlight switch.

Ok thanks guys will try all that tomorrow hope it works, some lady ran into me boot the other day when i was stopped for a train, not sure how she didn't see me stopped but anyway now i get new lights boot ect =D which i needed lol

[vkberlina]

hope she didnt bugger the chrome mould on the bumper bar as they are unavailable so if your bar is damages be very careful removing it.

Try the headlight switch in the car, pull it out with a blade screwdriver.
My head lights stopped working but had parkers and rear lights, fuses fine. It was the brown wire going into the switch which had dropped out of its socket or could be your switch if everything else is ok and no power.
