Question drivers side low beam light staying on!! golf vr6 mark three.

hi guys, my drivers side low beam front light is staying on aswell as the drivers side rear light on my mk3 golf vr6. (no I haven't left it in park mode)

we spent ages today trying to sort it but couldn't, so far I have tried a different light switch, indicator stalks, different real light clusters, pulled every relay out and cleaned some earths and its still bloody staying on, ive pulled out fuse 21 to stop it draining the battery.

any ideas as im totally stuck now????

there should be a relay for left side and a relay for right side. Swap them over and see what happens. Could be a relay stuck on!
