western Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 which lights ? because in your first line you say main beam & then in 2nd line you say high beam are fine, these are the same thing = the high beam for driving when no other traffic is present, Do you mean dip beam is not working = the normal headlight selection [when the blue waring light on dash warning light panel is off] suggest checking/testing or replacing the fuses for dip beam as these are seperate to the main beam have a look at the headlight bulbs, maybe both dip filaments have blown so therefore won't work.

landy andy. Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Does sound like classic light switch failure, as above, check fuses, and bulbs. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger90 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 like i done all checks on bulbs, changed indiator stalk and light on off switch, i checked the relay was ticking.. it sounded okay, but i want to change it to be sure.. some was has suggested about the solinoid in the front wing? regards sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think someone has suggested the 'solenoid' but actually mean the dim dip resistor, if the 90 is a 300tdi, that shouldn't stop the lights from working,it only reduces the power to the dip bean part of the headlight bulbs, you haven't told us what year/model/engine of the subject vehicle, we can't guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gruntus Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi Chap, I have had problems with the fuses being a poor contact and not very tight on the fuses and ended up with intermittent on/off and dimming. Tried cleaning up and tweaking the fuses but eventually put in relays for switching the lights. Hope this helps. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
