Default Drivers side full beam not working - but the bulb is fine?!

Got a problem with my lights.

On the mk3.5's (and mk3's im guessing) i believe the dipped beam and full/main beam bulbs are the same. For some reason my dipped beam works but my full beam doesn't? This is only on the drivers side - i've changed bulbs but no joy.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Gotta be wiring then?Maybe a bad contact or broken wire in the loom.Thats what I would go for.Try a continuity test between the high beam wire on the good side and the plug on the side that isnt working?

Volt drop both sides of the bulb to see if there is any voltage there, and if it has some where to go.
