paulnb57 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My NS headlight has failed completely, the sidelights are ok, earth issue dyou reckon? If so where do the headlights on a 90 earth? Its persisting down outside (again!) so I havent had chance to look..... Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Is it the dip, main or both. Run a live feed to the lamp and see if it works. I eventually tracked my fault down, and just re wired it from the fuse box. Basically, behind the fuse box, there is a plastic 'multi block' connector. Unfortunately they DO NOT like water, and this time of year,the windscreen , as you know, is saturated in the morning, 'on the inside'. this runs down the bulkhead inside, and wets the connector block. have a look at the block, the black, burned one will be the one you want.

western Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 earth for each set of front lights is behind the lights bolt/nut to the front end of inner wing vertical, from engine bay you might reach it just to feel where it is, easier to remove/refit the front lights for a better view.
