When my lights are on 1 is on main beam and the other is dipped.
If i flick them on to main beam the dipped one goes to main and the other one dips.

Is this a case of just swapping the wires around to the light?

(Bulb only goes one way!)

you've got the wires connected the wrong way round on the light. Most likely the bullet connectors

Get a multimeter and check the bullets are giving power out. If they are, check connections and earth, if they aren't check fuse, and then it could be dodgy cable or maybe the switch

Check the back of the fuse box for corrosion as well

I had the same issue, which I fixed by swapping the terminals around on the back of the light unit, it's worked fine ever since

I had the same a little while ago. Make sure you arent swapping the earth and one of the terminals, I know on mine it wasnt clear which was which. Mine works fine now, although for about 2 weeks I had both the wrong way as I went for a cuppa before I took the light out, then did the wrong one!
