C_Strike Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey guys. Seems my headlights have decided to stop working. They were fine last night at 11pm. I have taken one headlight off to refurb but upon replacing it neither headlights are working. It is drizzling outside but I tucked the bulbs and loom under the bonnet. Any ideas?

LOGIE Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Double check you have connected everything correctly. Spray a little WD40 into the plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Strike Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Iv just rechecked what iv done including taking the bulb out on the side I removed to no avail. Any idea where the fuse might live? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 From memory each headlight has it's own fuse. Are the tail lights working as you might have blown the fuse in the drivers footwell which powers a headlight relay. If the supply to the relay has gone, the headlights won't work.

Westy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Headlight fuses are LH and RH both located in the fuse box under the bonnet...15 amp I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I noticed when I removed my lights to change the HID's that if you don't connect all the light connections together proper, they won't come on but the rear lights still will. Headlight fuses are LH and RH both located in the fuse box under the bonnet...15 amp I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Strike Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ah. Thanks. After driving home from work in the dark I noticed that one side works whilst the other still doesnt light. Weird. Btw... I stupidly left out that it was only affecting the full beams.. all other lights seem to be fine. On a side note. Where can I find the fuse that controls the dash backlight? That went about a week ago lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) There is a 10amp fuse marked Tail which is located in the drivers side fuse board. Edited January 21, 2014 by Kev.O (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It might be worth checking the main beam connections as both main beams work via a switched negative, so if you've caught one side and damaged the cable it will effect the other main beam. Failing this, if you fancy a trip to Bradley Stoke, Bristol I'll take a look for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Strike Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks! Wev tested it all.. we have power all the way to the bulb connectors and the bulbs are sound so a bit stumped on that for the moment. Whilst messing about with it we stumbled upon a pretty significant problem.. il link a picture its quite interesting lol... Il have a look at that kev. If we have no joy and your willing to take a look we could pop across one weekend or something. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Strike Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 It appears the cable direct from battery to fuse box had worn to the extent of snapping whilst manouvering the battery lol.. all power went so we spent last night sorting that issue out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
