Question??

Have a problem with NS (passenger side) head lights?
No problem with the bulbs! All replaced with new ones.
No problem with the fuses! All checked all ok?
But! It's not kicking out the brightness! It's on! But not on?

Any advise would be appreciated

Check the grounding point for corrosion. The grounds are located near the lights on all corners.

Have a hunch that it may be an earthing problem!

Will have a look when I can!

I checked and changed all above in the dark

so did not see any more that needed checking

.

Thanks for the heads-up

Simple check with a voltmeter will confirm.

Test contacts in sidelamp bulb holder. If not full battery voltage when lights on then test the positive contact to a good ground or battery negative. If that is OK for voltage then the ground is the problem.

Happy New Year

Sorted

Dodgy connection on the pins, cleaned up now working fine.

As said before, could not see at the time! Night time viewing
