Hey guys went whilst out last night I discovered that my headlights aren't working on lowbeam. Tried changing bulbs today but still no lowbeam. They work fine on high beam. Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause of this.
cheers steve

checked fuses and they all appear to be fine and swapping the relays around didn't fix the problem. I'm wondering if it could be the steering column switch or a loose wire some where.

I have the opposite problem, my highbeam doesn't go. I am thinking something to do with the stalk

mine was the stalk, a pin had come out the end releasing a spring and ball bearing. 3 stage switch of which 2 still contacted ,but not the 3rd. All good now for the WOF man.
