As title suggests my RH headlight HI-Beam wont work. Replacement headlight (new and old both wont work) replaced bulbs aswell still no luck.. I have checked the headlight connections they dont seem burnt or anything.. as with the fuses... does HI-Beam have there own separate fuse? as in is there lo-beam (rh/lh) and then hi beam (rh/lh) Everything else works cept the hi beam on the RH side..

There isn't a separate fuse for low/high beam, only separate fuses for left and right headlights. I suggest you check out the headlight connector to see if you have a loose wire. Can you confirm that you are using double filament bulbs as a replacement?

i'll double check the connectors after work but ye i tried the bulb thats in the RH now on the LH and it worked so i know the bulbs are ok.

Double checked connectors they all seem intact and fine... I did notice that if i "flash" my high beams only the LH hi beam comes on but not the RH but the lo beam light is still on. If i turn my HI beams on then the whole RH headlight goes out.

Well, it all seems to point to a problem with your high beam wiring or the globe. Partial wiring diagram below. If the high bean relay was faulty it should affect the high beams on both headlights. If the RH headlamp fuse (F29) was faulty, you should have no low or high beam on the RH headlight.

Annoying as.. might have to take it to an auto elec... Looking at the wiring it all looks fine to me (physically) don't have a tester to check volts...

One would think, after 15 months it might be fixed
