Headlight issue

Post by jamie125 » Sun Jul 14, 2013 9:02 pm

Have noticed that my sidelights will not work, but do come on when the main headlight comes on, I suspect it's something to do with the LH switchgear, anyone else ever experienced this?

hey Jamie. it could be the LH switchgear. usually burnt out by heaving the incorrect wattage headlight bulbs installed

edit, where in Leighton are you? I was born and bred over there....

Have had the switchgear apart all looks fine, will have to get the multimeter out and give it a proper checking out. I live just off Johnson Drive by the McDonald's, lived here for 2 years, moved over from dunstable. 8-)
