Default Headlights not working need advice/help

Have a set of morettes fitted to my sapphire

Problem is the that the side lights ie the outer lamps are only working

The inner lamps ie main beams are not working but will work in the headlight flash function and thus its is not the bulbs

Any advice appreciated

As above or corroded connections, just done my mates rs2000 morettes and he had similar prob after car been stood in damp garage for 3 yrs. Some fool had also not mounted the relay so it sat upside down and had got water in it, It was rusty as hell inside.
Good luck.

His was located near the lights and loose, was a green hella 25A relay.
Think the morette kit comes with all cables and plugs etc so yours should be somewhere in the light area, try tracing the cables back from the light units.
His was same side as battery.
Good luck.
