Front lights problem

Post by JonesyG »

Hi all
Im having a bit of a problem with my front lights,

The rear right lights work, left dont, and all indicators work, just the front heads, dims and parks wont work.

When I turn the them on, the dash lights all work fine, but the blue light on the dash indicating high beam stays on whether I turn the high beam on or off.
The thing is the main beam lights do work if I flash them with the headlights switched off, just when I turn the headlights on nothing works.

The 4 fuses under the bonnet are all fine.
Im just wondering has anybody seen this before and maybe able to point me in the right direction??

Thanks in advance
Jonesy

Sounds like you are missing the main earth on the front lights. Check the bullet connectors at the top of the grill.
