Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the subject pardon the pun. The problem is my headlights don't work , but main beam does . I think its either the switch or dim/dip relay . when on sides the main lamps used to glow is that normal for a tdi to do or has someone previously been messing lol. Bulbs and wiring from the fusebox are ok probed them with life and they work
literally is just headlights , thanks for your help. ps happy new year.
 
The bulb and wiring from the fusebox are all good ,using a probe powered up from the fuse and hey presto .

I had a similar problem....mine was when i was on dipped beam, everything was fine but when i switched to full beam then i had squat...zilch...nothing....turned out that it was the actual light stock on the steering coloumn was shot, apparently it is a common fault, so swapped it and the problem goes away

my money is on the light switch. The metal contact sinks into the plastic as the plastic melts.
 
My Defender 90 has just done the same thing - sidelights fine, main beam (flash) fine, switch to headlights and...............bugger all.
Armed with the knowledge above, I'll be out on the drive tomorrow seeing if it's the stalk or the switch itself.
 
Hi all, I have the same problem. Switches range from £8 (britpart), £16 (Lucas) to £100+ for genuine land rover. Are they all the same? Are the Lucas any better than the Britpart?
Thanks.
 
Thanks, I'll go for the Lucas then. I wondered if they were the same switch with different tag.
Cheers.
