Suddenly, my dipped main beams are not working.[:(] The high beams come on when I flip the indicator lever. The manual says fuse 1 for headlamps which leads me to believe it’s not the fuse as the would stop all headlights working. Any thoughts would be kindly received.[:)] I have an MK2.5 Icon 1.8 if that helps.
I would check all fuses, from memory I think fuses 19 and 20 behind the glovebox relate to headlamps, although i cant remember if it is dipped or main beam.
Next stop look at the bulbs, it would not be the first time i have gone in way too deep only to find two blown bulbs, at the same time check the connections at the bulb, these are common on mk1 but i havent heard they are a problem on mk2.5’s
After this check if you have a meter check earths and switches etc, then go on from there, would be a good idea to have a word with Roadster Robbie just in case he has seen it before.
hope this helps

Thanks Jamie, I’ll take your advice and let you know how I get on.
Out of intrest, does your main beam tell tail work? If not I’d start by checking the bulbs. Even if it does work I’d still check the bulbs first.
Sorted. Both bulbs went at the same time. Changed them a problem solved. Did not think that both would go, but they both get exactly the same use.
