Front lights help???

Post by Petrol_Head »

My Front light on the passengers side has started to play up??

Im hoping its just the cold weather but its fairly weird. The light works when i put the full beam on but when i put the lights on normally the light does not work.

the other day my freind showed me a trick... it was hitting the light bulb and it came on. But now the hitting isnt working... maybe i didnt hit the light hard enough????

Can anyone help?? :roll:

I'm guessing the electrical connection is a bit loose.

The electric wire from the main lights is different from the full beam.

Just spray it with WD40
