this problems is sorted i now have another. go to post 7
i have a problem with the n/s headlight on my saph cos.
the o/s works fine on dip and high beam.
the n/s works ok on dip beam
but as soon as i put it onto high beam the light goes out leaving just the side light bulb.
all fuses are fine
i've done a bit of testing and noticed going from dip to high beam they use different lives. when switching to high beam it switches lives and so the dip beam live goes dead even on the o/s which works fine.
so what i need to know does the power go to the o/s then to n/s headlight in the same loop?
if thats the case i have a broken wire between the 2 lights (easy fix)
or have they got seperate feeds altogether?
