hi guys. on the weekend my left head light stopped working. thought it was no big drama, thinking globe was blown and it needed to be replaced.
today after work i replaced it with a new globe, but for reason it still wont work. was swapping globes, testing everything but no luck. then i noticed the HIGH BEAM works and not the headlights.
What is the problem, has this happened to anyone. How do i fix it.
any info much appreciated.
cheers

Try replacing the plug/connector that plugs to the headlight '$5 from autobarn'
Solder it on an it shall work, I had the same problem.

also check the fuses before you do anything else.

Is it even the right globe? EK/EJ use H4 bulb, which are bi-head lamp bulbs

went to wreckers and grab a plug/connector(looks in tip top condition) have just soldered it on and yet still the same problem. spewin now cos my cables have duck tape around it.
also check the fuses before you do anything else.
is it just the 30A fuse under the bonnet. have also replaced that. headlight on low beam still wont work. High beam does.
its doing me head in. its getting dark too now. gonna go to work tomorrow morning with only 1 headlight working
thanks for the quick replies guys
