Main beam issue. HELP

Post by KieranKizzyjones »

Brought some led headlight bulbs, I put them in went to turn lights on and nothing. I then put the bulbs that were in it to start off with and main beam doesn't work, but hight beam dose work.

Tried fuses.

Have you bent one of the 3pins and it hasn't plugged in also. You've got to force them plugs down really hard so make sure it's down flat on the bottom all the way round. If one side where the pins are is slightly raised it won't be connected properly

Hmm strange that. Have you traced the wires and made sure you haven't accidently pulled one out without realising. Could be at the back or front of the bulbs loom. Or to see if a wires split and shorting out on so,etching so,ewhere

Don't think the headlights have a relay. If you e got a haynes check the wiring diagram.. I can't find mine or I would, but if there is no damage on the fitting I would think it would be a relay or switch had been damaged by the other bulbs that wouldn't work. I would think relay since your high beam is still working? Got a multimeter?
