All of a sudden driving one day i turned on my lights and the dash light didn't work and shortly after the offside side lights went out. Ive tried all three light settings numerous times, checked all the fuses (i think), the bulbs both seem to be in tact with no damage to the internal filament. Would rather not have to take it into a garage and be charged loads if there is something i can do myself about it!
Cheers.

Sounds like it could be switch, if you have checked all fuses etc ...

Once you've replaced the switch the usual fix is to use the feeds from the switch to trigger relays, which then power the lights via fused supplies from the battery/fusebox...
 
Those switches are quite expensive if I'm not mistaken, is it worth trying to fix the wiring within the switch itself?
 
oh i went on Amazon and it was saying £143.. i was very confused by that. thanks for the link, ill be sure to buy one and fit it.. once I've done that i will post whether it worked or not!
Thanks for the help

Shouldn't you check that it NEEDS replacing first?

Could be a relay or earth ... just saying ... :cool:
 
ohh.. well I've ordered one for a tenner now, so worst comes to worst i can use it in the future. Ill check the relay and earth tomorrow and let you know!
 
Took off the panel that reveals the back of the rear light, a wire had come out so I secured it and now it works! Cheers for the help!
