Hey guys,

Just had my alternator go (over-charging) and got it replaced. When it died, it dropped out all my lights. I've since replaced all the dead fuses I could find, which were only for the interior lights. They now work fine.

It's my auto-lights and low beam that aren't working.

When I rotate the light switch to low beams, the interior lights come on, but the low beams don't. I've checked fuses and swapped the low-beam relay with the horn relay, but this hasn't fixed it.

When I rotate the light switch all the way round to auto lights, the low beam still doesn't work, and all the interior lights go off as well.

I'm gonna go pick up a 12v Test Lamp soon, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I hope it hasn't blown my bulbs because I only just replaced them a few weeks ago.

Thanks for any help :)

Check the bulbs. You also may have fried the light sensor.
On the VT-VX it's part of the remote door lock sensor in the middle of the dash at the base of the windscreen between the windscreen air vents.
I assume it would be the same on the VY.
