    Default Flick High beams on everything dies

    Hi
    Wanting some help here for my VQ.
    Last night i went to flick on my high beams and when i did i lost all my lights including the dash and the highs didnt come on at all.
    Then i pulled the lever towards me to flash them on and i lost them again but the dash lights stayed on.

    Help? or take it to an out sparky?

    Chances are a Wire has become or is close to shittin itself.. Check your wires behind you Cluster.. There on C1 C2 & C3 They are White Plugs, simply pull em towards you and they will pop out.. And you can inspect each wire

    OR.. your fuse may be close to dying aswell.. Look under your Fuse Pannel (Located Under the steering wheel) and check the fuse that's supposed to help for P/Lamp I believe it is

    You could also check the high beam fuse (30amp) and relay under the bonnet. I blew the high beam fuse in my VN and it did the same thing.
