Guest Alex-R Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 hi all, sorry haven't been on in a while had some bother previously posted with my headlights but it's gotten worse, here's what's happening. when i press the brakes the front lights go on. if i turn the lights on the brake lights stay on and nothing happens when i press the brake. using highbeam causes the driver side main headlight to go out, but the spots come on. the driver side light stays on when holding the flicker as if you are flashing, but if you have it as if you are driving with full beam the drivers side light goes off. pretty hard to get you're head round i bet, really have no idea with electrics and the MOT is drawing ever closer. any help is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

Guest Alex-R Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 hi, thanks for the great response, sorry, should have said it's a G reg mk4. had a quick look at the light stalk but didn't really know what to do, everything looked ok. how do i go about checking a bad earth? like i said i'm pretty useless at electrics lol will check the bulbs over too.

Guest matt-the-dj Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 make sure all cables bolted to bodywork near the lights are tight and clean no rust, check your light cluster for rust and poor connections as said earlier this sounds like a classic case of bad earth/ wiring connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
