Left headlight off, but works on main beam... 🤔

Featured Replies

Hi all, 

 

My Son pulled in last night and I noticed his left main beam was off, automatically figured bulb was at fault, so I changed it for a new one, (checked the one I took out, which was fine), so not the bulb. The bulb works fine on high beam, or when flashing, but not when it should be.

Any thoughts, was fine when he set off, I wiggled wires etc, but nothing? 🤔

 

Thanks in advance 👍🏻

The are two seperate bulbs in the headlight for dip and main beam, the high beam is the one used for the "Flash" so either you have replaced the wrong bulb or the fuse has blown #59 ?

Thanks, (are you the only one on here)!

 

its not the sidelight one, it’s the main headlight, please see image.

 

I changed the large bulb, the H7 one, the W5W is working fine

 

Thanks [again]!

You’re a star, I didn’t even realise there were 2 H7’s [DOH!] must be my eyes! I took the bulb out & it looks fine, no sign of it being blown, but nevertheless, thanks so much, sorted now
