supra-ireland Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 My full beam lights aren't working. Dipped and side lights are fine, just no fulls. The bulbs are fine, I've checked the connector with a volt meter and no power is getting to them. However, the blue full beam light on the dash does come on when they're turned on. The headlights are standard J-Spec. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 if your full's arnt working, you probably need to top up the water in the cases to the full level, make sure the drain plug is secure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Why that's just hilarious. Well done you. Was Ric referring to the battery? If not, then I guess his joke sucked, a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 check fuses... Drivers footwell would be a good place to start, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra-ireland Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 check fuses... Well, there are only 2 headlight fuses that I know about. The 15A L and R ones under the bonnet. These are both fine. My dipped lights are OK. Do these fuses not supply both dipped and full headlights? The only thing that I can think of is a loose wire behind the dash but I don't want to go in there unless I really have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra-ireland Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Ok, problem sorted. It was a bad negative. Thanks for the help lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra-ireland Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Where was the bad earth mate? I haven't located it yet. I went back and retested for a positive at the headlight, using the chassis as the negative (before I just tested for pos/neg off the connector). I reckon that the problem lies behind the dash. I had a new engine put in recently and it looks like the dash was taken out for some reason. I'm also missing the dash lights. The 'dome' fuse under the bonnet is sound so I'll have to investigate further. Dash lights are now sorted. I found the fuse in the driver's footwell. Some people say that the fuse should be in the passenger footwell but I couldn't find any fuses over that side.
