Default Full Beam problem (Help)

I have a dodgy headlamp hope someone can help.

This happens to ONE of my headlamps:

Side light is OK
Head lamp is OK
Full Beam .... whole headlamp goes off.
This is when the the indicator stick is pulled back to flash the full beam as well as push it forward to switch the full beam on.


Other side works fine.

Any ideas

cheers

Earth problem, but clean up both sides, located behind each headlight.
If you want better lights for free, run a new earth direct from battery to the headlights, insides NOT the connector.
I upgraded mine with a relay in each for dip and one in each for main beam, then seperate live earth wires, so much better!!
