Default Can anyone help with this headlights problem??

Just looking fo some advise on fixing an electrical fault.

Last night after driving back from the local RS meet I had some trouble with my headlights.

The side lights work, dipped beam works but when I switch to full beam the lights go off! If I try to use the flashers to put the full beam on, they just stay dipped!

Wondering if anyone had a similar problem and know's what the fault is?

Any help apreciated.

CheeRS.

Default lights

i had the same problem and i just took the relay out and cleaned all the contacts and bent the contacts a bit. Then all was well, just have a go and hopefully you get the same result.
