Does your landy have the sidelight main headlight dim feature?

Basically some of them (my 1990 included) had a little Lucas box which ran the headlight lamp at a lower level. If this fails it is known to fail with headlights on - just a thought because if you start looking and things look fine yet the lights are still on, without knowing about this little box you may never find it.

The little box is behind the gauges, it is screwed to the bulkhead with a little bracket - it would be a fairly quick thing to check - if you begin to suspect this little box then google it as there are people who explain how to remove it and join the wires up correctly to bypass it - or replace if you want to keep it.
