headlight problems!!

[paul 16v]

hi

went out in my car tonight and noticed my passenger side headlight was not working on dipped beam(main beam was fine) ive checked fuses and they are fine, i also pulled out the fuse for ballast/powerpack for passenger side headlights and that made the main beam not work,does the mean the ballast could be fine and i just need a new dipped beam bulb?

many thanks

You could try swaping ballasts around or try the other bulb in the one thats not working if this doesnt work could be a broken wire or corrosion in the connections or bad earth or bad connection

I had this problem on mine. Mine would come on occasionally. Is your battery old? I tried a few things, then one day my battery was completly flat bought a new one and problem solved.

Fred revival. :shock:

My passenger headlight is out. I removed the battery and washer bottle filler,but still cant access the headlight bulb. :xrealangry:

Is it a bumper off jobbie? Very bad design,if so. :x

Yeah it is, i tried just getting to the ballast by removing the bottle etc but its far easier with the bumper off.
