My discovery has picked up a fault. After my off roading trip I got home and my high beam dont work at all nor does the flash. Main beam only works if I switch it to high beam or im left with a very dim lights. Not sure ifbits electricak or if its the switch gone. Any way I can find out if its the switch.

"Any way I can find out if its the switch".. only with a test meter or substitute with a known working one .

Check and clean all the connectors on the back of the headlamps. I'm no sparky but I have had the same probs in the past and it has been the same connections every time. Good luck.

You will only be testing for circuit continuity and voltage not high current so you meter is ok.
