Dipped headlights stopped working

Dec 06, 2004 8 Replies

After 4 years from new I have my first electrical prob. Lights all OK this morning. On starting tonight both dipped headlights not working. Offside sidelight not working.



From the handbook this impliers three seperate fuses namely 31, 32 and 35.



Why should they all go together?


OOps. Thats 206D X Reg

Iff you still have full beam then they probably haven't. Sounds like the dim-dip resistor has failed.

This relates to 306 problems but will put you in the right direction.

sounds like a bypass job is the way forward especially as I've never used or seen the point of sidelights (they don't make a ha'porth of difference in seeing a vehicle coming towards U)

Even more pointless are the morons who use sidelights and front foglamps quite what that is all about is beyond me.

Rant mode over...

When 306's dim-dip resistor failed failed my Pug dealer fitted both a new resistor and a bypass in case it fails again.

I've always understood that the "side lights" were for parking purposes where vehicles have to be left with warning lights. That's what they were for 45 years ago when I started driving.

Check your lamp bulbs.
