I haven't checked it yet. The battery discharged during the night (yep, that's another problem:P) so i put it on recharge and focused on replacing the brakes. Front and back.
I'll tell you if it worked when I put the battery back.

Yes, the high and low beam are on separate circuits - even through the fuse box.

Check continuity between the bottom half of fuse 1 and pin A19. Then check continuity between the bottom half of fuse 3 and pin A18. If you have one but not the other, you could have a fault that I ran into with a fuse box. The innards of the fuse box are zinc plated steel, and the interconnect pins are a crimped type that corrode. The pictures below show a fuse box that is badly damaged, and you can see one of the pins that has corroded open.

I still have not solved this problem, (the left low beam having a dim yellow glow & the high beam in the round headlight not coming on) having checked everything I think the problem is wit the indicator switch as the following occur -

low beam on - I switch the main beam on, main beam comes on (not the left main beam). I repeat the above & main beam does not come on at all! This can happen randomly or all the time.

All lights off & pods down - I flash the main beam, LED comes on, the bumper driving lamps flash correctly. I repeat this, the LED comes on but the bumper driving lights do not flash. This happens randomly.

Apart from cleaning everything, I have replaced the headlight relay, cleaned the headlight switch (was clean anyway).

All other indicator switch functions work properly.

Any ideas & how do I clean the indicator switch, do I have to take the steering wheel off?

Thanks for the help[/list]

Thanks for all the rep;ies guys, much appreciated.

In the morning I cleaned the plugs on the steering column switch & checked the fusebox and relays, without any change.

The good news is that I fixed this problem yesterday afternoon. The solution was so simple I feel silly for not seeing it!

After my afternoon siesta & whilst having coffee, I thought hang on a minute the only thing I have not checked is the bulb itself, (because they are both six months old and have been used twice)TBH I could not be bothered to dismantle everything again, so I did!

I pulled the plug off the bulb and looked at the contacts, and guess what, the spade connector for the live feed was not sitting correctly in the plug itself, I refitted the connector & reassembled everything not really confident that I had fixed anything... switched the lights on & SUCCESS.

That was it, everything works as it should.!
