Hi, I am in awe of the extent of the groups knowkedge and willing ness to share, but I regret that I cannot follow the thread, i realise its me not up to it technically! If you could help with more basic bits about how I might fault trace a random dipped headlight fault please ? I have read so much and tried so many garage sources to trace the fault, I am just totally confused. Is it the computer ? How do I identify the bulb type fitted ( it has a brand new VW ballast) and what if any is the effect of battery condition or ambient temperature ?? Could it be the in cab light switch ? More greatful for any help or advice Phil

My 06 Superb Tdi Elegance has a random fault on the near side dipped headlight. A new ballast fitted costing over £100 did not solve the fault. So far I have been unable to find a common cause for the headlight failing. Some days I have 100% lighting other days, usually afternoons, the light fails when switched on. So far I have managed using the twin fog lights to get home. Next morning the nearside light may come on but not every day for the past 10 days. Any advice really welcome Phil
