Default Stupid cosworth headlight problem. please help

Hi

I've just got my sapphire back together and the headlights are doing something strange. If I put the sidelights on the dipped beam bulbs light up too but they're dim. If I put dipped beam on nothing changes. If I then try and switch main beam on nothing happens but I can flash the main beams.

So far I've tried a different switch and a different relay but nothing has made a difference so far.

I've checked the earths behind the dash around that area and they seem ok. Everything else works perfectly on the car except for the dipped beams and mains. With the ignition off just the sidelights come on as they should but with the ignition on the dipped beams come on but not as they should.

Just put the dash back in and I was getting the correct voltage at the switch so I guess the fault is elsewhere. Where else should I look? Are there earths near the front lights?

Any ideas help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
