FridgeFreezer Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Check the fuses, then check the wiring on the headlight connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K88 MUD Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I would say they both need replacing....main is off on one and dip off on the other.....but as posted above check fuses and wiring/supply at the light plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiles Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 What is it doing on quick beam? You can check if it is your lights... If you switch on quick beam, the dip and beam must light up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I would check your bulbs too, whip them out and continuity test them to make sure the fillaments are still intact. I was chasing a light problem which was similar, turned out I had blown both head lamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sealed Beams don't have bulbs...... same difference really... you have to remove the same bits to get to em irrespective of wheather you have bulbs or sealed units, I swapped mine sealed units out for "crystal" halogen units, very pleased with them so far, admitadly I don't think they would stand up to wadeing. Whatever your fillements be held in, you should test them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Halogens do fill with water but the crystal ones have polycarb lenses so you can drill a drain hole in the bottom. The upside is you can actually see where you're going at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got shot of the sealed beams in mine and repalced them with halagen type ,very pleased with them, mind you saying that they could'nt be any worse than the sealed beams!! Can actually see where im going now. Regards Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
