Title: headlight problem
Post by: niallo on September 09, 2010, 08:21:24 pm

just been driving with my headlights on for first time since winter and after 15 minutes of driving a front right dipped beam fault has came up and the right main headlight is not on. is it as simple as a faulty bulb . any ideas what this fault might be?
cheers niall

Most likely just a blown lamp. Buy some new ones and upgrade to something good like osram nightbreakers. To check quickly, swap a bulb from the other headlight and see if it works.

Yep. Mine did the same. I had the uprated Philips powerbulbs and the right dipped one blew. Swapped it temporarily with the right main until i could replace it.

If you want osram nightbreakers I have some for sale. Let me know if you're interested, I'm cheaper than looking online  :happy2:
